Description
Oxford In-Situ Sling – Advanced Spacer Fabric for Comfort & Safety
The Oxford® In-Situ Sling is expertly designed to provide safe, comfortable patient transfers while remaining under the individual between hoisting procedures. This reduces the need for repeated repositioning and minimizes handling, making it an ideal solution for patients with limited mobility or those requiring pressure care management.
Crafted from cutting-edge 3D woven spacer fabric, this sling ensures excellent breathability to promote air circulation, preventing heat and moisture build-up during extended seated or lying use. Its hammock-style design, combined with seamless construction, significantly reduces pressure points to support skin integrity and maximise comfort.
Engineered for safety and ease of use, the sling features colour-coded binding and attachment loops for quick size identification and secure, accurate positioning. An integrated pommel provides enhanced patient security by maintaining proper leg separation, especially beneficial for individuals needing extra support.
Tailored Comfort & Clinical Safety
Designed specifically for fitting from a recumbent position, the Oxford In-Situ Sling is compatible with most overhead hoist systems featuring loop attachments. Integrated strap storage pockets help keep the sling neat and reduce entanglement risks when left in place under the patient.
Suitable for amputee patients under professional supervision after a thorough risk assessment, this sling offers customisation options to accommodate complex individual needs.
