Of all the slings we have tried this one seems the better...
Simple to machine wash. The material stands up to excessive wear. We do not use a dryer after washing, but hang it up to dry.
The only problem with the sling is the trim around the cutout is quite hard for the area of the body it comes into contact with.

The User has Parkinson's and is virtually unable to do a great deal for herself. We use a Hoyer electric lift in conjunction with the sling for BM's
It does what it should.
It's design is its main strengths.
It would be nice if it had some sort of padding under the leg and may be some around the commode opening.

I am a 66-year-old quadriplegic. I use this sling for taking a shower, toileting, getting in and out of bed and getting in and out of my wheelchair.
A Great Buy
The sling is lighter weight but still a quality product.

I reposition my husband and move him from the bed to the chair using a Hoyer lift.
Light weight and washable, very important
The sling slides easily under the patient and has several straps to accommodate patients of different sizes. I like it better than the regular sling.
I see no weaknesses

My husband has Parkinson's and is bedridden. We have an electric lift and the sling allows him to use the commode rather than the bedpan.
Has made it easier to keep toileting
Positions her exactly how we need to toilet her.

Basic 4-Pt Sling w/Commode Cut-Out/Positioning Strap: Review
The quality and strength of the sling makes it very durable.
The only problem we encountered was the buckle on the seat belt. The strap kept coming out of the buckle. We had to get it to the right length and I sewed it in place.

This sling is for my husband. It is used to transfer him from recliner to wheelchair and back. Works great. He cannot stand or walk.
Woks well (see below)
Well made. This is the second sling of its type, all by the same manufacturer.We have one more sling (by same manufacturer) in addition, without a toilet hole.
The reason we purchased this sling was because the first sling we bought, several years ago, was because the stiffener (metal or plastic) which keeps the two outer straps apart broke and cannot be replaced - although it would be a simple job to do so. The sling it self is still ingood shape. As the caregiver, I wish that the different straps were colored to match each other so that it would be easy to recognize matching pairs. My wife wishes the wbbing around the toilet hole were a little softer - and the edges, where they are cut, were not so sharp. Hopefully the comments are seen as constructive, because the sling works well.
