Patient Aid Full Body Mesh Commode Patient Lift Sling, 200 to 350 lbs Weight Capacity (Large)

This is good because the stitching around the opening isn't so hard and abrasive. Some are really hard. It's like what are the designers thinking.....someone has to sit on this. Invacare has a really sturdy, expensive slng that is very well made, but the opening is sooo hard. I purchased several different slings and have found even the less expensive ones are sturdy. They will safely hold the person if the size is right. This mesh one is good, not too heavy so it's comfortable. It runs small. I don't think it will hold a 300 lb person or a very hippy person. I know I wouldn't use it on a 300 pounder. It is probably sturdy enough to lift, but it won't be wide enough. Mom my is 175 lbs with a 43" hip. It's the right size for her with little room to spare. The only sling I had a problem with is the divided leg sling. That one completely eliminates the opening. I thought it was a great idea, but a person's butt can sling right out of it. The divided leg slings are hard to position properly on a seated person. If not positioned properly, when lifting the person's butt can slide right out and cause a problem. I used on my mom. She was sliding out. I had to lowered her to the floor and reposition the sling and get her up. All turned out well, the problems is while that is happening it is kind of scary. It's frustrating too. They are easier to use if the person is being transferred from the bed to the toilet and back to the bed.

The sling came before my lift arrived, but when I needed it for a fall, it worked well to get the patient moved safely and securely. The straps are generous and strong, and the mesh was good. It is rather large, so I would not use it for a very small patient.

Seems to be just what the patient needed for good support!

I have used this item once but I would say it seems to be strong and comfortable. I will gave another review after I have used it more.

Works good
