Hammock Sling Poly Chair Pad

The Hammock Sling Poly Chair Pad is a specialised patient lifting sling designed to provide exceptional comfort, support, and efficiency during patient transfers. Unlike many traditional slings, it is specifically designed to remain underneath the patient after the transfer, reducing the need for repeated repositioning and minimising manual handling for caregivers. This makes it an excellent choice for hospitals, aged care facilities, rehabilitation centres, disability support services, and home care environments where frequent transfers are required.

Manufactured from durable polyester, the sling offers excellent strength while maintaining patient comfort during prolonged periods of sitting. The integrated chair pad design allows the sling to function as both a lifting sling and a comfortable seating support, reducing the need to remove and reposition the sling between transfers. This can help save time, improve workflow, and reduce physical strain on caregivers.

A non-slip backing helps prevent the sling from shifting, bunching, or sliding beneath the patient while seated. This provides greater stability, improves patient comfort, and reduces the need for repositioning throughout the day.

The hammock-style design delivers excellent back and neck support, helping maintain proper posture during lifting and seated positioning. This makes the sling suitable for patients who require a higher level of support while remaining comfortable during extended use.

Integrated positioning straps allow caregivers to adjust the patient's sitting position while suspended, helping achieve optimal alignment and comfort before completing the transfer. The colour-coded lifting straps provide a simple visual guide for selecting matching attachment points, supporting balanced lifting and consistent patient positioning.

Manufactured to Australian Standards, the Hammock Sling Poly Chair Pad is built to withstand the demands of everyday clinical use while delivering reliable performance and long-term durability.
