Introduction
The Oxford Full Body Sling (Loops) is a general-purpose sling with integrated head support and
padded legs, offering excellent comfort and support for clients. Quick and easy to apply, this sling
has looped attachment points for use on passive hoists with a spreader bar configuration.
Fitting the Sling from a Seated Position
Raise the client’s leg and carefully feed the padded leg
piece under and up between the legs. Ensure that the
sling is not twisted or creased under the thigh. Repeat
this procedure for the other leg.
Raise the spreader bar to a convenient height to allow
attachment of the shoulder straps as shown. Again,
ensure the same loops are selected and securely
attached before raising the client. Ensure the client
is positioned both safely and comfortably prior to
commencing any planned transfer activity.
NOTE:
The longer you attach the shoulder straps,
the more reclined the client will be.

To maintain patient dignity, feed the right leg support
through the modesty loop on the left leg support.
Cross over the leg straps by passing one through the
other and attach to the front hooks on the spreader
bar. Ensure the same loops are used on both straps.
Ensure the label and handle are on the outside and
feed the sling down the back of the client, leaving
the top of the commode aperture at the base of the
spine. Check the sling is square at the shoulders.
