Why Choose the Universal High Back Sling?

- Fit is the safety feature – a full manufacturer size run for this sling family – the transfer starts with the right size, not the closest size (Poly, Large to Poly, 2X-Large)
- Connection matched to the lift – loop and clip builds are named per configuration – no improvised attachments at the carry bar (3 fabric configurations here)
- Built for program use – fabrics and builds made for repeated daily transfers – slings hold up across a facility transfer program (sold as EA/1, first SKU M921531-L, 3 configurations)
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right size?
Choose the size that matches the user's weight and body measurements against the manufacturer's sizing for this sling family, which here runs from Poly, Large to Poly, 2X-Large. When a user falls between sizes, the larger size is generally the safer fit, and the care team should confirm the fit before the first transfer, especially between Poly, Large and Poly, X-Small in this fabric family of 3 sizes, where most users land.
Is this sling machine washable?
Reusable fabric slings in this family are laundered following the care instructions on the sling label, in the mesh, polyester builds listed, 3 sizes in all. Disposable slings are single-patient products and are discarded rather than washed, which supports infection control between users across this family's 3 sizes, Poly, Large to Poly, 2X-Large. This family's builds are loop-connection, in 3 sizes, Poly, Large to Poly, 2X-Large.
