Basic 4-Pt Sling w/Commode Cut-Out/Positioning Strap

It is hard to get it centered

Needs 3-point hook-up to keep in place

We have three Hoyer slings and this was the fourth. We have found them all to be long lasting and the first is now six years old and still going strong. Washes in m/c and hangs on Hoyer hoist to dry very quickly

The binding around the edges and around the toiletry hole is very harsh and can cut into the user. The differing lengths of the hanging slings are dificult to match up for various positions. If they were paired by color it would make them so easy to use and avoid errors in trying to match up by length.

Needs softer material for bindings . This is too stiff for a person that sits on the sling a lot, the old green sling had a softer binding. Would really like to see this one have something softer.

It is used to transfer patient from chair to bed and commode

Appears to be strong and fits our existing lift and patient.

It's more difficult to get under patient for bed extraction because the sling material is so much lighter than the model it replaces. The threading of the belt to removable clip is difficult because the belt's end hem is oversize.

Difficult to center

Good guality material. Will use as a regular backup sling but not suited for toileting

It would be impossible to use on a commode and allow proper cleansing of patient.

Quality of material fine.

Hard ridges made it uncomfortable.
