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. |

3.
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. |

4.
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) |

6.
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. |
