Free Sling + Manufacturer Warranty + Free Shipping
Choosing a sling does not need to be complicated. Start with the type of patient lift you have, then we’ll help you narrow down the right sling style, features, and size.
Start with your lift type, then compare the sling options below.
For floor lifts and traditional patient lifts that raise the user completely off the supporting surface.
For users who can bear some weight and participate in standing transfers with a sit-to-stand lift.
For compatible car-transfer systems that use specialized sling attachment points and transfer positioning.
If your lift raises the patient completely off the bed, chair, or floor, start here. Choose based on the patient's support needs and type of transfer.
Fastest way to choose: Standard transfer? Start with solid or mesh. Need toileting access? Choose a commode or divided-leg design. Need additional head support? Choose a sling with integrated head support.
Solid polyester provides dependable support for routine transfers between beds, chairs, and other surfaces.
Breathable mesh provides complete patient support while offering a lighter alternative to solid polyester.
Breathable mesh combines complete support with a commode opening for hygiene and toileting transfers.
Divided leg sections give caregivers more flexibility when positioning the patient for routine transfers.
Added padding improves comfort for patients who have adequate head and neck control during transfers.
Integrated head support provides added stability for patients needing greater upper-body support during transfers.
Choose your sit-to-stand sling based on how much support the patient needs while rising, standing, and transferring.
Important: Sit-to-stand slings are intended for patients who can participate in the transfer and bear some weight. If the patient needs complete lifting support, use a full-body patient lift sling instead.

Quick answers to the most common questions about choosing, sizing, and matching a sling to your patient lift.
No. The sling must be compatible with the lift's attachment system and intended type of transfer. Standard full-body patient lifts commonly use loop-style slings, sit-to-stand lifts require compatible stand-assist slings, and the Protekt All-In-One Car Transfer Lift requires its dedicated clip-style car transfer sling.
Start with your type of patient lift: full-body, sit-to-stand, or car transfer. Then consider the patient's support needs and the transfer being performed. Full-body slings are designed for complete lifting support, while sit-to-stand slings are for patients who can participate in standing.
Use the patient's height and weight together as a starting point. Then consider body shape, positioning, and the amount of coverage and support required. If the patient falls between sizes, confirm the specifications for the individual sling rather than choosing by weight alone.
A full-body patient lift sling supports the patient while the lift raises their body completely from the supporting surface. A sit-to-stand sling supports the torso during assisted standing and is intended for patients who can participate in the transfer and bear some weight.
Both can provide full-body support, but the material differs. Solid polyester slings provide a traditional supportive surface, while mesh slings are more breathable and can be useful when airflow or quicker drying is preferred.
A sling with integrated head support may be appropriate when the patient needs additional head and neck stability during the transfer. Patients with good head and neck control may not require this additional support, depending on the sling and transfer.
Look for a sling specifically designed to provide toileting or commode access, such as an appropriate commode-opening or divided-leg sling. The correct choice still depends on the patient's support needs and compatibility with the patient lift.
No. Loop and clip attachments are different systems and should not be treated as interchangeable. Always use the attachment style intended for your lift. In particular, the Protekt All-In-One Folding Car Transfer Lift requires its dedicated compatible clip-style sling.
