Slings are purchase only. We do not rent slings. Our team helps confirm the correct size and lift attachment.
Description
Joerns Healthcare's Hoyer Access sling with head support, small NA1626, is a padded loop sling that holds the head while clothing is moved for toileting.
What does it do and how does it work?
It opens the seat so clothing can come off, and it holds the head.
- The buckle positions the sling. It is not a restraint and need not be tight.
- Cross the leg loops on the front hooks at the longest loop. Shoulder loops go on the rear hooks.
- The shortest shoulder loop sits the person more upright. Matching loop lengths keeps the lift level.
- Safe working load is 500 lb (227 kg) on every size. The lift's lower limit still applies.
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
It suits about one in four sitting people with complete dependence (FIM 1-2).
- Not for a lift from lying. For most other transfers, see toileting slings.
Will it fit?
Match the weight guideline, then the fabric. We confirm the size before you order.
- Small, red, NA1626: 75-150 lb (34-68 kg).
- Medium, yellow, NA1627: 125-200 lb (57-91 kg).
- Large, green, NA1628: 175-350 lb (79-159 kg).
- Extra large, blue, NA1629: 275-500 lb (125-227 kg).
- Top width runs 27.2 to 49.6 in (690 to 1260 mm). Length runs 53.5 to 73.2 in (1360 to 1860 mm).
- The large body band is 11 in (280 mm), shorter than the medium.
- Bands overlap, so body shape can change the size. The open label mark is your size. Paediatric brown NA1625 is separate.
Using it day to day
Fit it while the person is sitting, then stay with them.
- Place it under the shoulder blades, above the belt line, with each leg strap flat.
- Never leave the person unattended. The lift can roll toward them as it takes their weight.
- Machine wash warm, no bleach, max 185 F (85 C). Air dry or very low heat. Do not dry clean.
- Discard the sling if it is torn, cut, frayed, bleached or broken. Do not alter it.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
It needs a Hoyer 6-point loop bar. A clip cradle will not take these loops.
- Loop-bar lifts: Advance, Elara, HPL450, HPL500, HPL700, Presence and Stature.
- Another manufacturer's lift is not a match and can injure the person or the carer.
- Pro cover is 12 months from purchase for the original owner. See warranty.
How does it compare?
- Comfort Access with head support clips to a 4-point cradle.
- The Hoyer Quick Fit standard loop sling is the general-purpose loop sling when toileting access is not the job.
- The Hoyer Advance is a loop-bar floor lift. This sling is sold on its own.
Frequently asked questions
Do the straps behind the buckle have to overlap?
No. The padding behind the buckle straps does not need to overlap. The buckle only positions the sling.
Does the head support come off?
No. The head support is built into the sling. The buckle only adjusts the strap around the head.
How do I help them sit back on the way down?
Use light pressure on the thighs as the lift lowers. That helps them sit back into the chair.
