Safe and Effective Transfer Support

The Oxford In-Situ Sling XL is intended for use exclusively in recumbent lifting scenarios and is compatible with most overhead ceiling hoists and other systems with loop attachment points. The integrated design features ensure proper alignment, improved patient safety, and ease of use for caregivers. Its in-situ capability means fewer transfers, reducing the risks associated with repositioning.

Compatibility

Compatible with most loop-style hoists, including overhead and ceiling-mounted systems.
Must be fitted with the patient in a lying (recumbent) position only.

Important Safety Information

Use only after full clinical risk assessment, especially with amputee patients.
Must be fitted and adjusted by trained professionals.
Regularly inspect the sling for wear or damage according to LOLER and PUWER regulations.
Do not use the sling if any part is compromised.
