General Purpose Head Sling Poly

The General Purpose Head Sling Poly is a durable and supportive patient lifting sling designed to provide full body, head, and neck support during patient transfers. It is ideal for individuals who require additional stability due to limited mobility, reduced muscle strength, or poor head and trunk control. Suitable for use in hospitals, residential aged care facilities, rehabilitation centres, disability support services, and home care environments, this sling delivers reliable support while promoting safe and comfortable patient handling.

Manufactured from high-quality solid polyester, the sling is designed to withstand the demands of everyday clinical use while maintaining patient comfort. The strong polyester fabric provides excellent durability, making it suitable for frequent transfers between beds, wheelchairs, commodes, recliners, and other seating surfaces. For showering and bathing applications, a mesh version is also available.

The integrated head support helps maintain proper alignment of the head, neck, and upper body throughout the lifting process. This additional support is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot independently support their head, helping improve comfort and stability while reducing the risk of unwanted movement during transfers.

A key feature of the General Purpose Head Sling Poly is its divided leg design, which provides multiple positioning options to accommodate different transfer techniques and patient needs. The leg sections may be crossed beneath the patient for increased security, left uncrossed for greater comfort, or positioned individually beneath each thigh depending on the patient's size, mobility, and clinical assessment. This flexibility allows healthcare professionals to tailor each transfer while maintaining patient safety.

Designed to assist both patients and caregivers, the sling promotes secure lifting, improves patient positioning, and helps reduce the physical demands associated with manual handling. It is compatible with a wide range of patient lifting systems when used according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
