Wellell SLK Bathing and Toileting Hoist Sling

Assisting patients with limited mobility in the bathroom can be an awkward task, but the Wellell SLK Bathing and Toileting Hoist Sling makes this transfer simpler. With a design that exposes the buttocks area, and a chest loop for additional security, this lifting aid allows patients to use the toilet while seated in the sling. It also enables quick removal for low-effort bath transfers.

What's Included?

• 1 x Toileting and Bath Universal Hoist Sling

Please note: This sling is designed to work with a hoist, and will not function as a lifting aid by itself. Patient hoists are sold separately.

What Is This Patient Hoist Sling For?

The sling is designed for use with universal patient hoists (sold separately), which are ideal for safe transfers and repositioning of patients with limited or impaired mobility. A universal hoist functions well for patients with limited or fully impaired mobility, and requires very little to no physical effort from the patient.

This Toileting and Bath Sling makes quick transfers possible, and enables carers to assist patients to and from the bathroom with ease. The large cut-out at the back of the sling means that patients can use the toilet without being removed from the lifting aid. The sling is designed for easy donning and removal for help transferring patients into and out of the bath.

How Do I Use This Lifting Sling?

To use this model, begin by comfortably positioning the patient into the sling, ensuring that it is secure and lined up with their body, and attach the sling to the hoist.

Who Can Use This Passive Hoist Sling Attachment?

Ideal for use with universal patient lift aids, this sling is designed to assist with lifting patients who have limited or impaired mobility. It is perfect for use in home-care environments, particularly by sole carers who may not have the physical support they need for patient transfers. The sling can also be used during clinical care for faster and simpler patient transportation.

Which Hoists Can I Use This Toileting Sling With?

How Do I Choose a Hoist Sling Size?

The sling size that's right for your needs will depend on the user's weight and height. The three sling sizes currently available are designed to suit a range of patient's, from 100 - 210cm in height and 30 - 100kg in weight.

To discover the size that's right for you, start by measuring the user's height and weight, then compare the results to the table below. If the collected measurements fall between two sizes, it is best to choose the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
