Range of polyester and mesh slings for use with Arjo and compatible ceiling and mobile hoists. Includes universal, hammock, divided-leg, amputee and bariatric sling patterns. Each sling is colour-coded by size and loop length for rapid identification. Slings are individually laundering-tracked and carry a maximum 40-wash cycle life.
Sling selection is one of the most common moving and handling errors in care homes. Incorrect loop length changes the hoist angle and resident posture, increasing pressure injury risk. Providing a resident-specific sling stored at the bedside, with the loop colour documented in the care plan, is a CQC-expected practice. Slings must be inspected at each use and withdrawn if seams, labels or loops show wear.
