Description
Items 8D2730 through 8D2230 are the mesh and poly hammock with a head panel. The sheet supports the hips, the sacral area and the thighs, up to the shoulders.
Which lift does it fit?
- Handicare loop slings fit Handicare carry bars. Use the same colour loop on both sides.
- Short shoulder loops and long leg loops sit the person more upright.
- Health Canada says the sling and the lift must both be rated for the person, and the maker must approve the pairing. Inspect for fraying (patient lifts and risk of fall).
- Ask us before pairing this sling with another brand's bar.
Who is it for?
- Bed, chair, commode, toilet, tub or floor, when a universal sling is not enough support.
- Floor lifts and moving higher in bed need the head panel. These codes include it.
- Divided legs can go on in a chair or while the person is lying down. Do not leave this fabric under the person.
Which size?
- XXS 8D2730, 450 lbs, white trim. XS 8D2630, 450 lbs, silver. Small 8D2530, 625 lbs, red. Medium 8D2430, 625 lbs, yellow. Large 8D2330, 625 lbs, green. Extra large 8D2230, 1000 lbs, blue.
- PolySlip is 8D1720 through 8D1220. Spacer is 8D4730 through 8D4230. Quilted is 537105 through 537150. Those are not this page.
Which fabric is this?
- Polyester mesh, with padding on the inner legs, and built-in handles. The product page describes a small opening for the commode.
- Spacer is the leave-in fabric. These codes are not spacer.
Care
- Laundry bag, up to 176 F (80 C).
- The 4-year line is a service life, not a warranty. Retire it if it is torn.
Compare
- Other closed hammocks are under full body slings.
- An open seat for the toilet is a different shape. See toileting slings.
- The lift is separate. Start from patient lifts and slings.
Frequently asked questions
Is the head panel on every mesh and poly code?
Yes. Each 8D2 code has a head-support measurement, and the medium photo shows the panel.
Can this hammock stay under someone in a chair?
No. The instructions say only spacer may stay in place. This page is mesh and poly.
Do PolySlip, spacer and quilted share these item numbers?
No. Those are 8D1, 8D4 and 5371 codes. This page is the 8D2 mesh and poly family only.
