The Haines SallySling Patient Hygiene Sling is a practical, single-use solution designed to support personal care and hygiene tasks in clinical and aged care environments. Featuring a commode aperture for easy caregiver access to the lower body, the sling is designed for use with a mechanical lifter or hoist, making it suitable for patients with moderate upper-body stability while helping to preserve their dignity and comfort throughout care procedures.
Constructed from a durable 70% polyester and 30% viscose blend with 100% polypropylene reinforced webbing straps, the SallySling is designed for use in wet conditions, including bathing and showering. Tested to Australian Standards AS EN 12182:2016 and AS/NZS ISO 10535:2024, it is available in Medium through to XX-Large sizing with clip or loop attachment options to suit a wide range of mechanical lifters.
Single Patient Use Design — Intended for use with a single patient for the duration of their hospital or care facility stay, supporting infection control practices and eliminating the need for reprocessing or redistribution to other patients.
Commode Aperture for Hygiene Access — The built-in commode aperture provides caregivers with easy and unobstructed access to the patient's lower body, enabling hygiene tasks to be performed efficiently while maintaining patient dignity.
Clip or Loop Attachment Options — Available with either clip or loop attachments, allowing the SallySling to be compatible with a broad range of clip-style and loop-style mechanical lifters used across clinical settings.
Designed for Wet Conditions — The sling's materials and construction are suited for use during bathing, showering, and other hygiene tasks that involve exposure to water or fluids.
Durable, Skin-Friendly Materials — Crafted from a high-strength 70% polyester and 30% viscose fabric with reinforced polypropylene webbing straps, the sling is designed to help maintain skin integrity and patient comfort during transfers and care.
Tested to Australian Standards — The SallySling has been tested to AS EN 12182:2016 and AS/NZS ISO 10535:2024, providing confidence in its performance and safety compliance for use in Australian healthcare environments.
Colour-Coded Size Identification — Each size is distinguished by a unique binding colour — Yellow for Medium, Green for Large, Blue for X-Large, and Orange for XX-Large — enabling quick and accurate sling identification at the point of care.
Supports Infection Control and Reduces Laundry Burden — As a single patient use product, the SallySling is an ideal alternative to reusable slings, helping to reduce laundry costs, turnaround times, and the risk of cross-contamination between patients.
