Drive Medical Divided Leg Lift Sling with Headrest
Drive Medical Divided Leg Mechanical Lift Sling with Integrated Headrest
High-Strength Solid Nylon Transfer Sling with Integrated Head and Neck Support, Divided Leg Configuration, 450 lb Safe Working Load, and Universal Cradle Bar Compatibility
The Drive Medical Divided Leg Lift Sling with Integrated Headrest is a high-strength patient transfer sling engineered for controlled transfers using floor-style mechanical lifters. Designed to assist caregivers in moving users with partial or total dependency between beds, wheelchairs, and commodes, this sling eliminates complex rigging by attaching directly to lift cradles without requiring external chains or straps.
Constructed from durable, moisture-resistant solid nylon, the sling features a divided leg design that allows easy application and removal while the individual remains seated or reclined. The built-in headrest provides crucial cervical and cranial stabilization for users who lack upper body control during elevation. Featuring a universal four-point strap system compatible with 2-point, 4-point, and 6-point spreader bars, this 100% latex-free sling supports safe working loads up to 450 lbs across Medium and Large size options.
Key Features & Benefits
- Divided Leg Configuration: Simplifies under-patient placement and removal while seated, allowing unobstructed access for hygiene and toileting routines.
- Integrated Head & Neck Support: Extended back section features built-in headrest support to stabilize cervical posture during vertical transfers.
- 450 lb Safe Working Load: High-tensile solid nylon construction engineered to support standard to bariatric weight capacities securely.
- Universal Cradle Beam Attachment: Interfaces smoothly with standard 2-point, 4-point, or 6-point floor lift spreader bars without additional hardware.
- Durable & Moisture-Resistant Nylon: Reinforced solid fabric resists fluid absorption and maintains structural integrity through repeated laundering.
- 100% Latex-Free Construction: Safe for individuals with latex sensitivities or delicate skin conditions.
Patient Transfer Specialist Insight: Divided leg slings are widely preferred for daily transfers because caregivers can tuck the leg bands under each thigh individually without rolling the user entirely onto their side. The addition of an integrated headrest makes this model ideal for patients with low muscle tone, spinal conditions, or neurological impairments who require full head stability during movement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need chains or straps to attach this sling to a patient lift?
No. This sling features built-in multi-loop attachment straps that hook directly onto 2-point, 4-point, or 6-point spreader bars without requiring external chains.
Can this divided leg sling be used for toileting transfers?
Yes. The divided leg configuration allows the leg straps to be routed under each thigh separately, leaving the central seating area open for convenient positioning over a commode or toilet.
How do I select between Medium and Large sizes?
Sizing is determined by the patient's overall height and torso length. Medium (62" length) generally fits standard adult height ranges, while Large (63" length) accommodates taller individuals requiring extended headrest coverage.
