Tuffcare’s Rhino lift slings for handicapped patients fulfill a variety of
needs, ranging from standing assistance to toileting help. According to
the FDA's best practices for patient lift use, users should match a sling to
a patient's specific weight and the right lift type. Patient lifts can be either
manual or electric. They support and transfer patients from one place to
another using a specific type of sling and fabric. Avoid using slings that
show damage, as this may lead to hazards for the patient.
Some factors to consider when choosing slings are:
Patient's weight
Type of patient lift
Cross-contamination (Is laundering an issue?)
Patient's mobility ability
Transport destinations, such as beds, toileting, or water
Tuffcare offers a variety of patient slings to provide comfort and durability.
Just as finding the right patient lift should be a well thought-out decision,
choosing a sling to match relies on knowing what the patient needs.
Tuffcare’s Rhino slings are made with a soft 3 layer polyester fabric and
a polyester mesh type fabric which provides comfort and prevents patient
from sliding while in the sling. The three layer solid polyester have a soft
lining for patient’s sensitive skin, middle padded layer for support and a
tough reinforced outer layer for weight carrying. The mesh type fabric is
fast drying and durable great for bath or shower. Our Tuffcare Rhino
slings are universal and will accommodate any 2, 4 or 6 point spreader
bars from other suppliers.
