Nylon Mesh Bath Sling with Head Support

Dries fast and easy to position for use and remove after use.

Straps that cross at knees/thighs can cause redness or sores if the person moves repeatedly.

Pressure point should be softer material not to cut circulation and cause bruising.

It seems strong enough to do the job. This will enable me to get him into the shower.

Mesh is scratchy on his skin. Length of straps and sizing of sling seems too big. He is 6 feet tall, weighs 195 pounds so I ordered large, then had to get a medium. different type of material would be easier on skin such as a thin nylon.

My husband has very little mobility due to a condition named Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. This will enable me to get him into the shower.

It's OK

If there were some way that we could grasp the effective size of it from the literature, it would be a big help.

lew v. from rockville, md (caregiver)

My wife uses the sling to give our daughter, who is profoundly retarded, a bath.

Strong, slippery, easy to dry.

The head support doesn't seem to do much.

It is strong and well made for the intended use.

The top sling straps are not separated in 3 individual sections but are made as only one thus the patient is not picked up in a good sitting position. The black straps are too rough. They should be a smoother nylon strap. The head support is way too big and gets in the way. I removed it and tied the strap together near the top so it would pick her up in a better position. If slings were returnable I would have sent this one back.

My wife has no mobility and is full time in a Wheel Chair. I use a Hoyer to move her all the time.

Easy for my husband to use to help me.

Was purchased to be used daily with Bowel Treatment and Shower after.

The webbing that goes between the legs should be of a softer fabic.

evelyn e. from goldsboro, nc (caregiver)

I purchased a Large Sling. While the Sling does what it is supposed to do effectively, when criss-crossing between the legs, it has left marks

durability - stores well - wash and dry easily and quickly

the plastic head support - we always remove it - too stiff and uncomfortable
