Divided Leg Slings: Flexible and Secure Support for Transfers

Divided leg slings are specially designed patient lift slings that offer flexibility and ease of use during transfers. These slings provide support to the back, thighs, and legs while leaving the lower body accessible, making them ideal for a variety of transfer scenarios, including toileting, bed-to-chair, and chair-to-commode transfers. Their unique design ensures comfort and safety for the user while simplifying the process for caregivers. At Mobility Specialties, we provide a range of divided leg slings that cater to different needs, ensuring a secure and comfortable transfer experience.
