Overview
The Low Back Slings are manufactured in a structured polyester with a semi rigid foam lining to the legs and back of the sling, giving increased support for the patient.
The removable stiffeners also provide additional support.
These slings feature a waist support channel and come as standard with a removable and elasticated waist support.
These Low Back Slings are an excellent alternative to a standard toilet sling as they provide increased support for those users with more variable body tone, whilst still allowing good access to clothing in order to carry out toileting or hygiene transfers.
The firmness of the sling makes it easy to apply, comfortable and allows for the users arms to be on the inside of the sling.
*Note: This sling is non-refundable/returnable
