• Patient Handling Belts

  Patient Handling Belts for dignified and safe moving and handling tasks.

  Patient handling belts, also known as transfer belts or gait belts, are designed and used to assist in the safe movement and transfer of patients with limited mobility. Handling belts are made using durable materials such as nylon or canvas and feature handles or straps for carers to hold onto during transfers. Patient handling belts provide support and stability, allowing carers to maintain a secure grip while assisting patients with standing, walking, or transferring between surfaces. These belts help minimise the risk of falls and injuries, providing added safety and confidence during patient mobility tasks.

• Patient Handling Slings

  Patient handling slings for safe and secure patient lifting.

  
  Patient handling slings are used to assist in the safe and comfortable transfer of individuals with limited mobility. Our slings are made using durable and flexible materials, such as nylon or polyester, and are designed to support different areas of the body, including the back, legs, and head. Patient handling slings feature straps or loops that can be attached to a patient lift or hoist system, allowing for controlled lifting and transfer of the individual. Our professional-grade handling slings come in various configurations, such as full-body slings, divided-leg slings, or toileting slings, to accommodate different transfer needs. They are vital in healthcare settings, care homes, and home care environments to ensure the safety and well-being of individuals during transfers, reducing the risk of injury for both the carer and the patient. Proper training and assessment by care professionals are important to determine the appropriate type and size of sling for each patient.

• Patient Slide Sheets

  Patient slide sheets are specifically manufactured sheets or fabric designed to assist in repositioning and transferring patients with limited mobility. Slide sheets are made of low-friction materials, such as nylon or satin, that reduce friction and make it easier to move the patient. They have handles or straps that carers can use to grip and pull, allowing for controlled and smooth movement of the patient. Patient slide sheets minimise the effort required for transfers, reducing the risk of strain or injury for both the carer and the patient. Patient slide sheets are mainly used in healthcare settings such as care homes to promote safe and efficient patient moving and handling.
