Oxford Access Padded Toileting Sling – Extra Small (with Padded Legs)
The Oxford Access Padded Toileting Sling (Extra Small) is a specialised patient handling solution, expertly designed to support safe, dignified toileting transfers. This sling is particularly beneficial in professional healthcare settings, care homes, and domestic environments where users require assistance with personal hygiene routines.
Unlike general-purpose slings, the Oxford Access Sling is purpose-built to offer maximum access for clothing removal while maintaining critical support to the torso, thighs, and head. The sling features padded leg sections and a fully integrated head support, ensuring user comfort during lifting, positioning, and transfer.
Crafted with a non-slip back panel, it prevents shifting during movement, enhancing safety and stability. The sling also includes an adjustable body belt, providing extra security and helping maintain proper posture throughout the toileting process. Coloured loop attachments simplify the process of connecting the sling to hoists, promoting accurate and consistent use.
Designed specifically for use with Oxford hoists using a 4-point cradle, this sling offers controlled lifting and smooth transfers. Its unique design allows caregivers to easily fit and remove the sling without unnecessary repositioning of the user, reducing stress and improving overall efficiency.
However, it is important to note that this sling is not suitable for all patients. It is only recommended for users who can maintain a seated posture independently or with minimal support. It should not be used for lifting individuals in a lying position or for general patient transfers, as doing so may present safety risks.
