This full back toileting Sling is quick to fit and easy to remove and is very much like the standard Bosun Chair Sling. The difference is that is has the added feature of full back support. It is also available in a variety of materials (see the Technical tab).
Main Features
- Simple to fit and remove
- Full back toileting Sling with good head support
- Good hygiene access
The advantage of this Sling is that it is easy to undress patients while in the Sling and it saves two unnecessary lifts to put a patient on a bed to undress and dress them. It can also be left behind the patient without adverse pressure problems, but as it is such an easy Sling to put on and remove, most Carers will remove the Sling rather than leave it behind a patient.
The Sling can pick up from the floor or bed. All sizes of the Bosun Chair Sling with Full Back come with grey side straps to help with lateral support for people who lean to one side. Webbing handles are provided at the back of the Sling to help guide patients into chairs. However, as the patient is already in a good sitting position, they could be lowered directly into a chair. This is particularly helpful if the chair has positioning inserts.
