Prism Hammock Sling

The Prism Hammock Sling has been specifically designed for users who require a sling which provides maximum support to the sacral area.

It is often the sling of choice in cases where a general-purpose sling such as the Universal Sling is unsuitable due to poor body tone.

This sling offers great comfort and versatility as it can be used in a divided leg or cross-over position which also provides good support for amputees (subject to assessment).

The Hammock Sling is available in four materials, each providing a number of different benefits to the user.

Materials

The Hammock Sling in Polyslip material is a great all-rounder as it can be used for general transfers. Slipfit material has been fitted on the outer leg section to make fitting and removing the sling easier.

The polyester mesh version of the Hammock Sling is perfect for those who require a sling for bathing. The padded sections are made up with non-absorbent foam which helps reduce the soak up of water.

The slipfit version has been designed to provide exceptional ease of fitting and removing. This material is ideal for use with users who have limited ability to move during the fitting of the sling. However, it is not ideal for bathing as it retains water when being hoisted.

The spacer material has been designed to provide added comfort to the user as the material allows a degree of stretch in order to mould around the person. This variation of the Hammock Sling is ideal for those who would wear slings for extended periods. Available in black or pink
