Why a Toileting Sling Helps

Toilet trips with a hoist need a sling that holds the person securely while leaving room to manage clothing. This one is designed for exactly that, so carers can help with clothing and hygiene while the person stays supported. It keeps the routine simpler and more dignified.

Features

• Velcro waist belt and security buckle. Holds the sling snug around the waist during the lift.
• Loop or keyhole clip attachments. Pick the one your hoist's spreader bar takes.
• With or without head support. The no-head-support version comes with loops.
• Colour-coded binding. Red, yellow, green or blue edging shows the size at a glance.
• Soft bound edges. Gentler against the skin while the sling is in use.
• Labels built to last. High-definition woven labels designed not to fade, with 5-year service record and sling audit indicators.
• Unique serial number on every sling. Handy for tracking and record keeping in care settings.
• Easy care. Machine washable, flame-retardant polyester with anti-shrink webbing.
• Safe working load 220kg (Small and Medium) or 300kg (Large and X-Large).

Is the Toileting Sling Right for You?

It usually suits:

• toileting with a hoist, and dressing or undressing
• transfers to and from the toilet
• transfers from a sitting or semi-sitting position

Check with your OT or physio first:

• whether the person needs head support. That depends on how well they can hold up their head and upper body
• which size and attachment to choose. Cobalt says the sling should only be used after a full assessment
• for anything to do with the person's health or care plan, we recommend speaking with your healthcare provider

Good to know before you order:

• The hoist is not included. This listing is for the sling only.
• Cobalt says these slings suit most brands of lifting and ceiling hoists. Check whether your hoist takes loops or keyhole clips before you choose.
• Inspect the sling before every use. If it's damaged, frayed or not in its original condition, don't use it.

Choosing the Right Size

Cobalt sizes this sling by height, hip width and back length. Measure while the person is sitting:

1. Hip width: measure straight across the hips from left to right, not around them.
2. Back length, with head support: measure from the top of the head down to the lower back.
3. Back length, no head support: measure from the base of the neck down to the lower back.
4. Match those figures and the person's height to the table below. If they fall between two sizes, email us the measurements and we'll check with Cobalt.

Choosing the Right Option

• Loop or clip: loops hook over the spreader bar's hooks. Keyhole clips lock onto clip-style spreader bars. Match it to your hoist.
• With or without head support: head support suits someone who needs help holding up their head. Without it, the sling sits lower on the back. The no-head-support version comes with loops only.
