The Patient Aid Padded U-Sling with head support was designed for patients that are totally or partially dependent, non-weight bearing, bariatric (obese) or have limited head control. The U-Sling also known as a Universal sling will be used in 85% of patient transfers. The Universal sling with head support is constructed of a fully padded fabric that forms a soft yet supportive surface and provides full neck and head support. It can be applied or removed very easily by slipping it behind the patient while they are seated or in the reclined position. The Patient Aid U-Sling also offers a wide opening which provides toileting access and is easier to slip on and off a patient then a normal full body patient sling. The U-Sling with head support molds around the patient’s body and eliminates the need to pull or drag the sling under the patient’s body and risk skin tears or other injuries like those that can occur when applying a full body patient sling. The Padded U-Sling is constructed with 4 positioning straps which provides a safe weight distribution of the patient while also allowing more flexibility in positioning the patient in the sling. The U-Sling with head support can be used for transfers from a bed to a chair, wheelchair, or toilet, chair to chair or from the floor to a bed or chair. The Patient Aid Universal lift sling is made with a soft solid polyester fabric which provides comfort, protects the patients with sensitive skin and prevents the patient from sliding while in the sling. The U sling has 4 reinforced attachment points to allow the sling to work with all competitive floor style patient lifts and their 2, 4 or 6-point spreader bars. The 4 size options (SM, MD, LG, XL) and the 600lb weight capacity allows the Universal sling to accommodate a wide variety of different size patients and their specific needs while providing good back, head and thigh support.
