Cobalt Toileting/Hygiene Sling

Cobalt Health is excited to present our comprehensive range of patient slings. Our UK-made sling range is designed with both the users and carers in mind. The range is designed to ensure patient comfort and safety, while also providing functionality, durability, and ease of use for carers.

The Cobalt Health Moving and Handling range offer a wide variety of slings, designed to be used with lifting and standing hoists, and are available with both loop and clip (keyhole) fittings. Sling selection should only be made after a comprehensive Risk Assessment has been completed, which will reflect each user's individual physical and cognitive characteristics as well as the task(s) to be performed.

A Toileting or Hygiene Sling is designed to assist with toileting, dressing/undressing, transfers to and from the toilet or transfers from a sitting or semi sitting position. Cobalt Toileting Slings are available with or without head support, depending on the patient’s trunk stability and their ability to control their head and torso.
