SUREHANDS Slings
The right sling for every circumstance
Persons who are unable to control their head or who
are otherwise contraindicated for use of the body
support will benefit from the wide range of SUREHANDS
slings.
The innovations and safety controls found in our
other products are readily apparent in this quality
range of slings.

The standard sling
For universal use The standard sling is our most
universal sling. It fully supports the body and has a
cut-out for toileting. And, it can be easily attached or
removed from the patient when they are safely positioned
into their wheelchair. SUREHANDS four point spreader bar
creates extra room and allows the user to sit or lay
more comfortably than from a straight two point spreader
bar. The padded legs feel soft and offer ideal support
at the same time. This padding also prevents the leg
flaps from binding or bunching up. Positioning handles
are sewn into the back of all our slings. The standard
sling is available with or without a crescent shaped
head support. When more targeted head support is
required, the six strap models are ideal. The standard
sling is available in solid fabric or mesh. A version
without padding is ideal when the sling needs to remain
underneath the user.

The hygiene sling
For transfers to the toilet
Sometimes referred to as a toileting sling, this model
is especially designed to make toileting possible while
in the security of the sling. It is so easy to put on
that sometimes it can even be used independently. The
large cut-out area behind the thighs and up the lower
back allows access to the clothing so that the belt or
waistband can be loosened and the user’s pants can be
removed while he or she is in the sling. A wide velcro
belt is closed around the user’s abdomen for extra
safety and support. An optional head support is also
available. This sling is often referred to as the “soft
hands” because it is the next best thing in ease of use
to the SUREHANDS body support.

The bathing sling
For transfers to the bath or
pool The shape of the bathing sling is identical to that
of the hygiene sling – only the material is different.
The bathing sling is made of maintenance-friendly,
latex-free, anti-slip, synthetic material that can be
easily wiped dry. The bathing sling can be used dry as
an alternative to the hygiene sling. An optional head
support is also available for the bathing sling.

The comfort sling
For a sense of safety and
security The comfort sling encloses more of the body
than the standard sling. This gives better support and a
safer feeling to the user. It comes standard with padded
legs for extra softness and support.

The amputee sling
SUREHANDS offers several slings
specifically for this purpose. They offer comfort and
are intended to hold the body in complete balance.
Single amputee The sling for persons with a single
amputation is a standard sling with double-length leg
flaps that offer ideal support and hold the body in
complete balance. Double amputee For persons with a
double amputation, an adapted, rectangular sling is
used. This sling has no head support. (shown)

The seat sling
The SUREHANDS seat sling, made of
synthetic latex-free material, is useful for people who
can stand but lack stability and balance. It can be used
in the home or institution. It can support the user in a
90 degree seated position with a firm seat and back
support. It can also recline to other positions and is
ideal for leaving underneath the user when lying in the
tub. The perforated seat lets the water through. It can
be attached to any of our systems. An optional security
belt is available for those with poor balance in a
seated position.

The walking harness
Support for gait training and
ambulation The ability to adjust this harness with
numerous belts and buckles makes it an ideal tool for
properly supporting the shoulders, stomach, chest and
legs during gait training and ambulation. The safety
strap further supports the user if fatigue is a problem
during training. The SUREHANDS body support can also be
used for ambulation. |
