Hygiene slings are specifically designed for toileting and hygiene functions. Access is unrestricted for most users, making this sling ideal for independent transfer and toileting. The hygiene sling is designed to be used with either a patient lifting hoist or a stand aid.

It gives access to be able to remove and refit lower garments for toileting transfers whilst a client is suspended in the sling. As the client is lifted and their position becomes more extended, the ability to adjust the tension on the chest band is an important feature for the comfort and security of the client.

Sizing Guidelines
Universal slings should be assessed for the proper size by utilizing the point at which the shoulder strap attaches to the sling body. This point should:

  • Height: Fall between the deltoid point and the top of the ear
  • Width/Circumference: Fall between the anterior crease of the shoulder (point at which the deltoid muscle and chest meet) and the center line of the body

The need for head support, when using the Universal sling, needs to be determined. The leg straps should also be assessed to determine if there is an appropriate amount of material available, to ensure comfort of the sling.

Washing Instructions
The sling should be inserted into a washer/laundry bag prior to being placed into the washer. This is to prevent any unusual wear and tear of the sling by the agitator and/or other parts of the washing machine.
