Oxford In-Situ Slings

The Oxford In-Situ Sling is an advanced patient transfer solution designed specifically for users who require a sling for extended periods. Manufactured from high-grade breathable polyester, this sling promotes airflow to maintain skin integrity and ensure extreme levels of comfort.

Unlike rigid transfer aids, the fabric actively stretches to mould to the unique contours of the user's body, providing a safe, tailored fit. For maximum security, the Oxford In-Situ Sling features an integrated safety pommel. This fits simply between the legs to maintain correct positioning and prevent the user from slipping during transfer. To meet high standards of infection control and hygiene, the sling is durable and fully machine washable.
