For lifting safety, the long seat commode sling series adhere to the BS EN ISO 10535:2006 standard for requirements and test methods of transfer hoists. For ultimate safety during use, the attendant should conduct a thorough inspection of the sling before use, reducing the risk of injury or the patient or caregiver.
For washing, the Hoyer Loop Style Long Seat Commode Slings can be washed in temperatures up to 185 degrees Fahrenheit. However, to dry them, they must be tumble dried on cool or low temperatures to prevent damage to the fabrication.
