Product details

Six sizes in fabric or mesh.

• Sling is easily fitted to a patient in bed or a chair, providing excellent upper body and head support.
• Recommended for lifting from the floor and general lifting of the less secure patient.

Allegro General Purpose Slings are designed to be simple and safe to use for both home and institutional patient lifting. The slings are manufactured from polyester fabric or mesh (suitable for bathing) with internal padding in pressure areas and utilise webbing attachment loops. The webbing loops are colour coded for sizing to allow easy sling selection and identification.

Webbing loops of varying lengths are provided at each connection point to allow a lay back posture for the patient or, by using the shortest loops, a higher lift. General Purpose Slings may only be
applied to lifting hoists fitted with a yoke attachment. Yoke Attachments available in:

2 hook
