Eco Sling

The Eco Sling is a single patient use general purpose sling made with a recycled polyester construction, offering a more environmentally responsible option for facilities that need dedicated, non-shared slings for infection control purposes without relying on virgin synthetic fabric. As a single-patient-use sling, it stays with one resident or patient for the duration of their care, reducing the risk of cross-contamination that comes with sharing reusable slings between multiple people — an important consideration in hospitals, aged care, and any setting managing infection control protocols. The fabric is a durable polyester weave, comfortable against the skin and suited to general hoisting situations such as bed, chair, and wheelchair transfers, with padding incorporated to help relieve pressure at key contact points during a lift. It is available in a range of configurations and sizes to suit different body types and lifting needs, following the same general purpose sling shape used widely across the industry — a full-body design with leg sections and back/head support. As one of the most popular single-use sling options in its category, the Eco Sling balances practical everyday performance with a lower environmental footprint compared to standard virgin-fibre disposables. As with all hoist slings, correct sizing should be confirmed for the individual user, and the sling should be inspected before each use and replaced if there are signs of wear, staining, or damage.
