Oxford slings have many common attributes that make them easier to use, and easier to train with.
Oxford Sling Features
Coloured binding or tabs provide clear
recognised size information at a glance.
Coloured loop straps that provide adjustment
and the correct positioning angle for the 6-point
spreader bar system.
Clear sling labels provide identification, safety
information and on-going care guidelines.
Modesty loops help prevent the patient’s legs from
splaying while transferring to maintain dignity.
Centre-line markers aid the carer in the correct
positioning of the sling, especially when inserting
the sling before an off the bed or floor transfer.
Positioning handles on our slings are carefully
positioned to offer ease of handling.
Padding provides additional comfort and support
to delicate areas and our webbing straps have
covered ends to protect the patient’s skin.
The grey colour of our standard polyester slings
means contamination is easy to spot - but the
polyester fabric isn’t prone to staining, and is
easily laundered.
