UNIVERSAL MESH SLINGS WITH HEADREST
are designed for
patients that are either totally or partially dependent while using in the
shower. The universal mesh slings with headrest has extra head support
material for patients that cannot hold their head up or have very limited
upper body strength. Tuffcare universal mesh slings with headrest wraps
around the patient’s body which will eliminate the need to pull or drag the
sling material underneath the patient’s body along with having a wide
opening to accommodate any toileting when needed.

Positioning the Universal Sling
The inner side of the fabric is smooth while the outer side has position
strap handle on it.
The shoulder edge of the sling fabric should be slightly below the patientʹs
shoulder. The bottom edge of the commode opening on sling fabric
should then be a few inches above the back of the patient’s hips.
Universal slings are the most effective for transfers and toileting, patients
who can sit up, even if only a little, are best candidates for universal
slings. They are the easiest to use, and the patient is not sitting on the fabric
during use. That makes the procedure of transfer to wheelchair, bed, and
commode easier with a universal style sling.
It is recommended that two assistants be used for all lifting preparation,
transferring from and transferring to procedures. Our equipment will permit
proper operation by one assistant. The use of one assistant is based on the
evaluation of the healthcare professional for each individual case. Bed
rails may be used to minimize patient movements during sling positioning.
