Full Body Sling with Commode Cut-Out

Having a mesh sling would likely make it cooler for the patient in the summer.

Hangs too low and is too hard to move patient where s/he needs to be moved.

Not a huge fan - it hangs lower on the Hoyer lift than the solid sling, making us go back to the solid one.

Durable, easy to use, recommend if you do not have buttock/thigh skin sensitivity

Commode cut out seaming "imperfect," overlaps, will not completely fold under or over, creating material roughness and irritation of buttocks and thighs ... very aggrevating for those with bed sore potential.

Age 82, disabled, wheelchair confined, dependent upon sling for transferring, toileting, and bathing

Mesh allows shower water to pass through. Washable. For males, I recommend placing a satin pillow case folded in 1/2 or 1/4 over cut out until lowered onto commode shower chair at which time the pillowcase can be pulled through. Helps avoid painful contact with genitals during positioning.

It allows loved ones to remain in their home and move from rooms to vehicles, thereby, allowing greater mobility while not being confined to the bed. Greater spirits and sooner recovery are possible.

The size and weight can be hindrance to a smaller sized caregiver. Most of the time it is a definite two-man operation.
