Full Body slings are the easiest sling to use
while transferring a resident from a supine
position (laying on ones’ back). It can be used
for transfers from a bed to a chair, wheelchair, or
toilet, or from the floor to a bed. This sling style
offers total head, neck, and thigh support. Full
body slings should be used for residents who
are totally or partially dependent, non-weight
bearing, bariatric, or for those who have limited
head control. These are available in a solid
fabric, mesh, or mesh with a commode opening.
Mesh slings should be used for bathing. These
slings are often left under the resident between
lifts. Solid fabric slings should not be left under
the resident for extended periods of time, as the
fabric can retain body heat. LUMEX Full Body
slings have four connection points and can be
used with 2-, 4-, or 6-point spreader bars.
