3/8” (9.525mm) Silicone Gel Sling Protectors

Inserting and removing slings can often cause shear and friction to the skin. Slings can also cause pressure on the skin during transfers, especially around the sacrum, coccyx, buttocks and underneath the upper legs. Clients can find this very uncomfortable and painful.

This can deter individuals from being hoisted or they can become agitated or upset during hoisting activities.

Pressure ulcers develop extremely quickly and it is essential that if a sling is marking or affecting a pressure ulcer that action is taken immediately to prevent skin breakdown.

If a rim of a sling is on a pressure ulcer, there is a high risk that it will cause further damage and open the wound. Using Gel Sling Protectors eliminates this risk.

Where dressings are in place, the gel pads will also protect the area and help prevent the dressing from moving.

Make Gel Ovations Sling Protectors an essential, everyday part of client and patient transfers. They are easy to insert and remove and can be used as a short or long term solution.
