Patient slings are the most frequently replaced component in any care home hoisting system. The right sling protects the resident during transfer, supports safe manual handling practice for care staff, and maintains LOLER compliance. Trade2Care stocks the full range — from everyday universal slings to specialist amputee, bariatric and in-situ options — all LOLER compliant and available XS to bariatric.
Clip vs loop — what is the difference?
-
Clip slings — connect directly to the hoist spreader bar with metal clips; most common in UK care homes; quick and secure to attach
-
Loop slings — fabric loops thread onto the spreader bar hooks; more adjustment options; widely used with Oxford and Arjo hoists
LOLER compliance
Patient slings must be inspected before every use and examined by a competent person every 6 months under LOLER. They should be replaced immediately if seam damage, fraying, label loss or deformation is found. Call 03452 999 999 if you need a LOLER inspection or sling compatibility advice.
