Basic 4-Pt Sling

If sitting it is easier to get sling around patient than full body sling which requires rolling patient to get it around them

Straps on sling cut into leg and need to be cushioned in some manner.

Disabled son who has developed Parkinson's Disease. Age 53. When he falls he is usually in sitting position so this sling is easier to get him up.

Ease of use compared to traditional sling. Can be set up w/patient in sitting position. Other one needs to be under patient to use. Less complicated as to which hook up goes where.

Next time I'll buy the padded one. The under leg area tends to 'cut' into the leg from body weight pressure. If the patient is sensitive to that kind of thing.

weak right side, standing. moving from chair to wheel chair.

Much easier to remove once you are seated.

None so far

can be used without lifting the person to put the sling under him

I can't always get my Hoyer lift close because of location, and it would be helpful if the loops were longer.
