Locomotor Hammock Sling

Locomotor Hammock Sling: Full Body Support and Specialized Amputee Hoist Transfers (SWL 203kg )

The Locomotor Hammock Sling is a specialized full body support sling designed for patients who require comprehensive containment and assistance during hoist transfers. It is particularly appropriate for users with complex needs, especially amputees (including double amputees), where the hammock design provides the necessary support and safety that traditional slings may lack. Built for clinical reliability, this sling has a substantial Safe Working Load (SWL) of 203kg.

Specialized Full Body Containment and Amputee Support

The core strength of the Hammock Sling lies in its unique shape, offering superior support where standard general-purpose slings cannot:

• Complete Body Envelopment: The continuous, contoured design provides full body support, cradling the patient from the shoulders down to the legs, which is critical for comfort and security during the hoist lift.
• Ideal for Amputees: The deep, enveloping 'hammock' shape prevents limb slippage and offers essential containment, making it the preferred and safest choice for lifting and transferring patients with single or double limb amputations.
• High SWL: The impressive 203kg SWL ensures the sling is suitable for a large majority of patients, meeting the robust demands of professional care environments.

Versatility and Customization

The Locomotor Hammock Sling allows caregivers to select a model that perfectly matches the user's care plan:

• Toileting Aperture Option: To balance support with hygiene needs, the sling is available with or without a toileting aperture. Choosing the aperture allows for convenient access during transfers, while choosing the solid hammock provides maximum unbroken support and containment.
• Three Sizes for Optimal Fit: Available in three sizes to ensure a precise, safe fit, which is crucial for maximizing patient comfort and security during the transfer.
