Provides easy fitting and good support for patients with some upper body control. Recommended for general lifting. The slings are manufactured from polyester fabric or mesh (suitable for bathing) with internal padding in pressure areas and utilise webbing attachment loops.
The webbing loops are colour-coded for sizing to allow easy sling selection and identification. Webbing loops of varying lengths are provided at each connection point to allow a layback posture for the patient or, using the shortest loops, a higher lift.
General Purpose Slings may only be applied to lifting hoists fitted with a yoke attachment.
