Universal patient slings are the most versatile and widely used sling type in UK care homes. Designed to support the resident in a seated position, they are suitable for the majority of everyday hoisting tasks — bed to chair, chair to wheelchair, chair to toilet and vehicle transfers.

Transfer tasks

  • Bed to chair and chair to bed
  • Chair to wheelchair / wheelchair to chair
  • Toilet transfers (closed base only — for open base see Toileting Slings)
  • Vehicle transfers

Key specification points

  • Clip vs loop — confirm the attachment type for your hoist spreader bar before ordering
  • Head support — some models include an integral head support; required for residents with limited head or trunk control
  • Padded vs non-padded — padded slings improve comfort for residents used frequently or for longer transfer durations

Compatible with Arjo, Oxford, Invacare, Molift and most major hoist spreader bars. Call 03452 999 999 to confirm compatibility.
