Slings are an integral part of ceiling hoist equipment. While available in many styles and sizes, they are all fitted around the user and provide the final connection to the lifting equipment. Highgate Healthcare’s large range includes specifically designed slings to suit both children and adults, whose needs vary greatly depending on the user's ability to participate, level of body control and muscle tone, degree of mobility, amputations or other special needs. Highgate Healthcare's slings are designed to be as easy to fit as possible, thus reducing effort for attendants whilst providing suitable comfort and support where needed. Manual Handling Incorporated handles aid in manoeuvring the patient during the transfer, and the multiple colour coded connection points allow adjustments to ensure comfort, safety and dignity. Highgate Healthcare representatives work in collaboration with healthcare professionals to ensure the correct prescription of sling is achieved, or re-assessment as the client's needs change. Duracare Sling Range The Duracare Sling Range covers all sizes from extra small to extra extra large. Manufactured in Australia and New Zealand from the highest quality materials, the extensive range offers both fabric and mesh woven from 100% polyester specifically for the application. These slings can be used with any appropriate lifter, and come with quick and easy ID coloured straps. The silver material of the sling makes the coloured straps stand out, making them even easier to identify. Duracare Slings also come with nonfading woven labels. Duracare Slings are made of premium quality materials, with every batch tested for quality assurance and exceeding test requirements. Although we offer a great selection of standard slings in the Duracare Sling Range, everyone is unique and their needs are different. That’s why we can customise any of the standard Duracare Sling Range to help suit your needs better. We can modify an existing sling design by adding an extra strap or loop, or we can start afresh. Once the custom sling has been made, it is then weight tested to ensure its strength. We also have flotation slings – great for use in the pool or spa. All slings in the Duracare range come in hard wearing fabric or mesh, and are approved from 200 kg to 300 kg capacity. These slings can be washed in high temperatures – up to 95º C – making this sling very hygienic. www.highgatehealthcare.com.au | 1300 350 350 | Highgate Healthcare | 183 Manual Handling Slings A B B A A. Woven Safety Instructions Label B. E-Clip Duracare slings come with a quality woven identification label. This label is designed to greatly reduce fading over time or from the normal washing process. Important details such as description, date of manufacture, serial number are indelibly marked on label. The patented E-Clip is offered as an option on most Pivot Slings and Standing Slings. This revolutionary clip provides a mechanical means of ensuring the correct attachment and removes the possibility of inadvertent detachment of the sling. Depression of the side safety levers is the only way the E-Clip can be removed. Visual control offers additional safety and wear over time is eliminated as the E-Clip does not require a precisely engineered ‘friction fit’. 184 | Highgate Healthcare | 1300 350 350 | www.highgatehealthcare.com.au hip) to the acromion while lying horizontal.
