Description
The Drive Full Body Patient Lift Sling supports the patient from the head to below the knees in one continuous polyester sling — the full-coverage choice for transfers involving patients who need total support, rated by Drive to 600 lb.
- 600 lb capacity – published on Drive's specification sheet and owner's manual
- Head and neck support – the high-back section cradles the head through the lift
- Mesh or solid polyester – mesh for bathing and quick drying, solid for everyday transfers
- No chains or straps to buy – loop straps attach directly to the cradle
Full-Length Support for Total-Assist Transfers
Where a divided-leg sling supports mainly the back and thighs, a full body sling carries the whole torso: the high back supports the head and neck, the body of the sling carries the back and seat, and a padded section sits under the thighs. These four builds are the solid-coverage versions — they do not have a commode opening (Drive sells opening builds under separate model numbers), which makes them the right pick when full support matters more than toileting access. The sling works on 4-point and 6-point cradles with no chains or straps required.

Manuals and Troubleshooting Guides
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this sling have a commode opening?
No. The four builds sold here are full-coverage without an opening. Drive makes commode-opening versions under different model numbers — if toileting access is the priority, a divided-leg U-sling is usually the better fit.
What weight can it carry?
600 lb, per Drive's specification sheet and owner's manual. Always confirm the lift itself is rated for the combined load.
Mesh or solid — which should I choose?
Mesh drains and dries quickly, so it suits shower and bathing transfers. Solid polyester is the everyday choice for dry bed-to-chair transfers.
Does it need chains or straps?
No. The loop straps attach directly to 4-point and 6-point cradles; Drive lists chains and straps as not required.
How do I wash it?
Per Drive's owner's manual: wash at a maximum of 105°F. The warranty excludes damage from excessive or incorrect washing, so follow the manual's care limits.
What warranty does it carry?
Drive covers this sling with a 6-month limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship; misuse and negligence are excluded.
