The BestCare SL-GDH Series Disposable High-Back Lift Sling provides an economical, hygienic transfer solution for clinical healthcare facilities and home care settings.

The extended high-back profile incorporates integrated head support to stabilize the cranial and cervical regions for users requiring full-body support. Compatible with standard 4-point and 6-point spreader bars across major floor lift systems, this sling supports safe working loads up to 600 lbs across Medium, Large, and Extra-Large size configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these high-back disposable slings machine washable?
No. These are non-woven disposable slings designed strictly for single-patient use. Laundering or machine washing will compromise the fabric integrity and void the safety rating.
Does this sling support patients who cannot hold up their head?
Yes. The SL-GDH series features an extended high-back profile with integrated head support designed to stabilize the cervical spine and skull during vertical transfers.
How long can one disposable sling be used for a single patient?
A single-patient sling can be used for the duration of an individual patient's stay, provided it remains clean, unsoiled, and structurally intact. Replace the sling immediately if it becomes soiled, wet, or damaged.
