Lumex Universal Sling with Head Support for Patients, Medium, 400 Pounds

Universal slings, also known as divided leg slings, are the simplest sling to use when transferring a resident from a seated position. These slings can also be employed for lifting from a supine position, making them suitable for the majority of lifting situations. They are a versatile, general-purpose sling designed for the majority of users. These slings can be used for transfers from a bed to a chair, wheelchair, or toilet, chair to chair, or from the floor to a bed or chair. This sling style is available with or without head support, and in both solid fabric and mesh varieties.

Lumex's Hoyer-style universal slings feature more robust padding in the back and leg areas, enhancing ease of use and providing extra comfort, particularly for those with delicate skin. The Hoyer-style head support versions incorporate a sturdy internal plastic head shell, which is removable to facilitate laundering.

Universal slings should be used for residents who are totally or partially dependent, non-weight-bearing, or bariatric. Those with limited head control should use a universal sling with head support. The large commode opening, available on select models, accommodates toileting. Mesh slings should be used for bathing, as they dry quickly, can be left under the user between lifts, and do not retain body heat.

Lumex universal slings have four or six connection points and can be used with 2-point, 4-point, or 6-point spreader bars. Quality is the hallmark of all Lumex products, which have been trusted by healthcare professionals and end-users for over 50 years. Lumex offers a full line of patient aids and specialty healthcare seating.

The universal sling is the easiest sling to use for lifts from a seated position, and it is also great for lying or supine lifts. It provides support for the user's torso and thighs, making it ideal for those who have strong head control but are totally or partially dependent or non-weight-bearing. With a maximum weight capacity of 400 pounds, the universal sling best fits users between 140-200 pounds.
