General description/Intended use

The Human Care Full Body Sling E-clip has been
designed for lifting people who need full body
support. The sling can also effectively be used
when lifting a person from the floor due to the
integrated headrest. The sling positions the
client into a reclining position, reducing the
pressure on the client's legs. The Full Body Sling
E-clip Soft has a padded head support. The Full
Body Sling In-Situ E-clip has removable stiffen-
ers in case the sling stays behind the client. By
removing the stiffeners, the head support is
flexible and can be folded away. The stiffeners
need to be in place in their pockets during a
transfer for an adequate head support.
With its oval shape, the Columbus Sling pro-
vides comfortable support to the head, torso,
thighs and also the sitting area, allowing the
client to feel safe and secure. This sling is ideally
suitable for clients with limited body stability
and/or different center of gravity due to, for
example, an amputation or wearing a corset.
The sling has a sewn-in seat, which means that
the client sits on the sling and the leg straps are
removed. This gives the client an optimal feeling
of being cocooned, which can promote safety
due to various factors.
The slings are designed for
a four-point suspension
from a 4-point hanger
bar and are available in 2
materials.
Polyester net – flexible and airy
A soft and thin material that breathes and dries
quickly. It has light elastic properties and shapes
itself to the client's body. It is the most com-
monly used sling for short transfers. The
sling can stay behind the client in a chair or
bed for a short period of time. An additional
advantage is that the sling is very suitable for
showering and bathing.
Soft air mesh
This material is a light-
weight, cool, soft and
breathable mesh fabric.
It is made of a mois-
ture-wicking fabric, that
pulls moisture away from
the skin through the fabric
where it can evaporate
quickly. The material helps to control body tem-
perature. Another advantage of this material is
that is it anti-bacterial, which means that it is
easier to maintain better hygiene. Furthermore,
the material doesn't smell, even with intensive
use.
The "two-way stretch" material hugs the body
like a second skin. It is therefore particularly
suitable for clients with sensitive skin. The
material also absorbs involuntary movements,
making it suitable for clients with muscle
spasms.
A sling made of this material can stay in place
behind the client in a (modulated) chair or bed
for a longer period of time.
