Oxford Access Padded Toileting Sling – Large with Padded Legs
The Oxford Access Padded Toileting Sling – Large with Padded Legs is a specialised transfer aid designed to make toileting routines safer, faster, and more dignified for both patients and caregivers. Developed by Oxford, a trusted name in patient handling equipment, this sling prioritises ease of use and patient comfort while offering essential access for hygiene purposes.
This sling features generously padded leg sections and body support, providing increased comfort during the lifting and transfer process. The unique design allows caregivers to easily remove or adjust clothing without having to take off the sling, significantly reducing handling time and minimising patient distress. It is particularly useful in facilities or home care settings where frequent toileting assistance is required.
The adjustable body belt offers additional stability during movement, while the non-slip back section ensures the sling stays securely in place without riding up. The colour-coded attachment loops promote correct positioning on the spreader bar, supporting consistent and safe patient transfers.
However, it’s important to note that this is not a general-purpose sling. It is specifically designed for patients who retain sufficient upper body strength and can maintain a sitting position. The Oxford Access Padded Sling suits approximately 25% of patients, so a full risk and suitability assessment must be performed before use.
Whether transferring from a chair to commode, chair to chair, or chair to bed, the Oxford Access Sling makes toileting transfers simpler and more comfortable - especially when time, safety, and dignity are a priority.
