Description
The Gendron Bariatric Sling range extends full body sling support to 800 lb and 1,000 lb ratings, with a commode version for toileting. Gendron is the Graham-Field bariatric line, and these slings are built to match its lifts.
- Ratings up to 800 lb and 1,000 lb
- Full body bariatric cut
- Commode opening model in the range
- Made by Gendron, the GF bariatric brand
- Pairs with Gendron bariatric lifts
Bariatric programs stall at the sling: lifts exist above 600 lb, but slings rated to match are scarce. Gendron builds them. The GT4XL carries patients up to 800 lb and the GT5XL up to 1,000 lb, in a full body cut that supports the head and thighs like the standard range. The GT5XLC adds the commode opening for toileting routines at bariatric weights. All three are non-stock ship-direct items, so programs order them ahead of need rather than at the moment of admission.

Why Choose the Gendron Bariatric Sling?
Above 600 lb, sling choice is not a preference, it is a short list. Gendron's rated range is the Graham-Field answer, built by the same group as the bariatric lifts it serves.
- Ratings that match the lifts – Up to 1,000 lb, aligned with bariatric equipment – The sling stops being the weak link
- Full body support – Head and thigh support at bariatric scale – Dependent patients ride with full support
- Commode option – Toileting access at bariatric weights – The routine stays transfer-lean
Frequently Asked Questions
What capacities do the Gendron slings carry?
The full body models are rated by configuration: the GT4XL covers up to 800 lb and the GT5XL up to 1,000 lb. The GT5XLC is the bariatric commode version.
Which lifts do they fit?
They are Gendron slings made for Gendron bariatric lifts and wheelchairs programs. Confirm spreader bar compatibility with your lift before ordering.
What is the commode version for?
The GT5XLC adds a commode opening to the bariatric full body pattern, so toileting transfers work like the standard-size commode slings. The opening removes a transfer from the routine.
Are these stocked items?
The Gendron slings are non-stock, ship-direct items in the McKesson catalog. Allow lead time when planning a bariatric program.
Why a separate Gendron line?
Gendron is Graham-Field's bariatric specialist brand. Its slings are cut and rated for the weight classes its lifts and chairs are built for.
