Drive Comfort Lifting Sling

About Drive Comfort Lifting Sling

Drive Comfort lifting sling — a padded U-shaped lifting sling with foam padding for safe transfers between bed and chair. The sling has three adjustable positioning loops and crossed leg supports that reduce the pressure during the lift.

Padded U-shaped patient lifting sling

The padded sling has a U-shaped construction that makes the patient easy to position. The foam padding gives comfort throughout the lift. Handles at the back of the sling also make it comfortable for the carer to handle and steer the transfer.

How the sling works during a transfer

You place the sling under the patient and attach the loops to the lift’s spreader bar. The three adjustable positioning loops let you set the sitting position to suit the patient. Crossed leg supports also spread the weight evenly and reduce the pressure against the thighs during a lift from bed to chair.

The sling suits professional care settings where you need a reliable sling for daily transfers. It works for lifts between bed and chair and also from the floor. It is intended for a single patient — you should therefore clean and disinfect the sling thoroughly between patients.
