Clip Slings
MAA2000-xx
Unpadded clip sling
The above has no padding in the leg area and
therefore is easier to apply to residents with
skeletal issues such as contractures and curvatures
of the spine. These slings are commonly used on
people who are in moulded wheelchairs.
MAA4000-xx
Padded sling
Padding adds a level of comfort to the leg area of the
slings. The Padding also helps to prevent the
material roping and creasing under legs.
MAA4060-xx
Mesh clip sling
The above is most commonly used for showering or
bathing. The mesh allows the water to pass through
the material therefore retaining less water when the
patient is being towel dried. This is a benefit when
the patient is hoisted back into their wheelchair or
onto a towel in bed. The porous material also allows
the skin to breath and can be left underneath the
patient.
MAA4031xx
Toilet clip sling
Used for toileting, dressing and undressing
patients. The padded arm supports provide the
comfort and support. Leg supports are padded for
comfort but again are narrower to allow clothing to
be removed. Careful patient assessment is
necessary before this sling is used.
