Frequently Asked Questions About Slings
What size patient lift sling do I need?
Patient lift sling size is based on body weight and measurements. Small: under 150 lbs. Medium: 150-200 lbs. Large: 200-300 lbs. XL/Bariatric: 300+ lbs. We measure and fit slings to ensure proper support under arms and legs. Incorrect sizing is uncomfortable and unsafe.
What types of patient lift slings are available?
Common sling types include: Universal/U-sling (full body support), Toileting sling (open bottom for bathroom use), Bathing/mesh sling (water drains for shower use), Hammock sling (head support), and Stand-assist sling (for those with some leg strength). Each serves different transfer needs.
Does ADP cover patient lift slings in Ontario?
Yes, ADP covers patient lift slings as part of the patient lift system. When you receive ADP funding for a patient lift, slings are typically included. Replacement slings may also be covered. We include sling fitting and training with all patient lift purchases.
Where can I buy Hoyer lift slings in Toronto?
Mobility Specialties sells patient lift slings and Hoyer slings throughout Toronto and the GTA. We carry universal slings, toileting slings, bathing slings, and bariatric slings. Compatible with Hoyer, Invacare, Drive, and most patient lift brands. Free fitting and delivery available.
How often should patient lift slings be replaced?
Patient lift slings should be inspected regularly and replaced when showing wear, fraying, or stitching damage. Typically replace slings every 6-12 months with daily use, or when weight capacity is exceeded. Always follow manufacturer guidelines. Damaged slings are a safety risk.
Is there an income limit for ADP?
No, ADP has no income testing. All Ontario residents with a valid health card and qualifying disability are eligible regardless of income. The program covers 75% of the cost for all qualifying applicants.
How often can I get new equipment through ADP?
ADP has usage periods for each equipment type. For example, wheelchairs have a 5-year usage period, walkers 5 years, and hospital beds vary. After the usage period, you may qualify for replacement if there is continued medical need.
Can I upgrade my ADP equipment?
Yes, you can choose features beyond what ADP covers and pay the difference. For example, ADP may cover a basic power wheelchair, but you can upgrade to a model with more features. You pay 25% of the approved amount plus any upgrade costs.
What documents do I need for ADP application?
You need: 1) Ontario Health Card, 2) Prescription from your physician stating medical need, 3) Assessment from an authorized ADP vendor like Mobility Specialties. We guide you through gathering all required documentation.
