dual access SLING

The Dual Access sling is designed to be used from a sitting 
position with either a patient lift or a Stand Aid. This sling is 
specifically designed for toileting and hygiene functions. The 
client must have adequate trunk control and not require more 
trunk support than the Dual Access sling provides.

LEAVE IN PLACE THIS SLING IS NOT SUITABLE TO LEAVE 
UNDER THE CLIENT. 

The Dual Access Sling is only available in poly fabric.  
The decision to leave a sling in place must be based on strong 
clinical reasoning and the rationale should be documented.  

A trained professional should always perform a risk 
assessment to determine the sling application method, design, 
and fabric to be used. 

Always refer to your institutional policies and procedures to 
ensure appropriate precautions are being followed.
