BestCare Pediatric Mesh Sling
BestCare Pediatric Quick-Dry Mesh Mechanical Patient Lift Sling β 100 lb Capacity
Child-Specific Fast-Drying Mesh Transfer Sling for Bathing & Hygiene, Hammock-Style Cradle Design, Safety Retention Loop, 100 lb Safe Working Load, and Universal Spreader Bar Compatibility
The BestCare Pediatric Mesh Sling (Model SL-PM111) is a specialized pediatric transfer harness engineered specifically for bathing, showering, and hygiene-related lift procedures for children weighing up to 100 lbs. Designed specifically for young users across home care, school, and clinical environments, this sling accommodates unique pediatric proportions while eliminating water retention during wet transfers.
Constructed from high-tensile, breathable polyester mesh, the porous open-weave fabric allows water and bath products to pass through freely, draining instantly and drying rapidly between uses. Featuring a hammock-style design that cradles the child's body with integrated thigh support, it incorporates an anti-slip safety retention loop to prevent shifting or sliding during movement. Compatible with standard 2-point, 4-point, and 6-point spreader bars on BestCare and other major floor lift systems, this sling delivers smooth, secure elevation for young users during daily care routines.
Key Features & Benefits
- Quick-Drying Bathing Mesh: Lightweight, porous grid fabric lets water drain instantly, making it ideal for shower, bath, and hygiene transfers.
- Pediatric Hammock-Style Design: Cradles young users in a natural, contoured posture with gentle thigh support that minimizes pressure points.
- Safety Retention Loop: Integrated safety feature prevents user slippage, shifting, or sliding during elevation and repositioning.
- Child-Specific Proportions: Tailored specifically for young bodies, avoiding the awkward overhang and improper alignment caused by downsized adult slings.
- Durable & Fast-Drying: High-density woven polyester mesh resists tearing and degradation from daily laundering and water exposure.
- Universal Lift System Fit: Multi-loop attachment straps interface seamlessly with standard 2-point, 4-point, and 6-point spreader bars across major lift brands.
Pediatric Care Specialist Insight: Bathing transfers with pediatric patients require both proper sizing and fast drainage. Standard padded slings retain water and become heavy during bath time, whereas the SL-PM111's porous mesh allows water to flow right through. Combined with the built-in retention loop, caregivers get complete peace of mind knowing the child is centered and safe throughout the transfer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this pediatric sling be used directly in the shower or bath tub?
Yes. The quick-drying mesh material is designed specifically for bathing and showering transfers. Water passes directly through the open weave without waterlogging the sling.
Is this sling compatible with non-BestCare floor lifts?
Yes. The universal multi-loop attachment straps are engineered to connect directly to standard 2-point, 4-point, and 6-point spreader bars on most major mechanical floor lift systems (such as Hoyer, Invacare, and Drive).
What is the function of the retention loop?
The retention loop stabilizes the child within the sling during elevation, preventing them from slipping forward or shifting out of alignment while suspended.
