Frequently Asked Questions About Turning 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.

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?

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.

How often can I get new equipment through ADP?

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.
