The Drive Medical Divided Leg Sling with Head Rest (also known as a Universal Sling) is one of the most versatile patient-handling tools in the clinical setting. The “U-shape” design allows for easy application while the resident is seated or supine, as the leg paddles can be positioned without rolling the patient. The integrated head rest makes this model ideal for residents with limited neck strength or those who require total assistance during the lifting process.
Key Features
Integrated Head Support: Features an extended, padded back section that cradles the head and neck, providing critical stability for residents with low muscle tone or neurological impairments.
Divided Leg “U” Design: The open-bottom design allows for easier application and removal. It also facilitates easier access for clothing removal and peri-care during toileting transfers.
Solid Polyester Construction: Made from heavy-duty, medical-grade polyester. This fabric is low-friction for easy positioning and high-strength to ensure a stable, secure lift.
Padded Leg Paddles: Outfitted with generous padding in the thigh areas to prevent the fabric from bunching or “roping,” which protects fragile skin from pressure points.
Color-Coded Attachment Straps: Features reinforced loops with distinct color-coding to help caregivers set the correct lift angle (upright vs. reclined) and ensure a balanced transfer.
Universal Compatibility: Designed to interface with most 4-point and 6-point spreader bars (hanger bars) from major manufacturers, including Drive, Invacare, and Lumex.
