Drive Medical Polyester Mesh Lift Sling – 330 lb
Drive Medical Polyester Mesh Patient Lift Sling with Commode Cutout
Breathable Fast-Drying Mesh Transfer Architecture with Integrated Commode Opening, Universal Floor Lift Compatibility, and Up to 600 lb Weight Capacity
The Drive Medical Polyester Mesh Lift Sling with Commode Cutout is engineered to eliminate the physical strain and repetitive handling associated with frequent toileting transfers. Designed for users with complete or partial dependency, this specialized transfer sling features a central seat cutout that provides direct perineal access, allowing patients to remain securely in the sling throughout the entire toileting routine without requiring re-slinging or extra transfers.
Constructed from porous, breathable polyester mesh, the sling promotes air circulation during extended wear to help prevent heat and moisture buildup. Its fast-drying material makes it equally suitable for bathing and showering routines. Featuring universal loop attachments compatible with standard floor lift systems—including Hoyer, Drive, Invacare, Medline, and McKesson—the sling allows caregivers to easily switch between reclined bed-to-chair transfers and upright posture angles for commode positioning. Available in Standard (330 lb capacity) and Full Body Medium, Large, and Extra Large models (600 lb capacity), it offers a reliable, hygienic solution for homecare and clinical facilities.
Key Features & Benefits
- Integrated Commode Opening: Built-in seat cutout enables seamless toileting access without removing or adjusting the sling between transfers.
- Breathable Polyester Mesh: Lightweight, fast-drying grid fabric minimizes heat and fluid buildup to protect skin integrity and withstand daily laundering.
- Universal Floor Lift Compatibility: Works seamlessly with Hoyer, Drive, Invacare, Medline, McKesson, and most standard floor-based mechanical lifts.
- High-Capacity Full Body Options: Full body models (Medium, Large, Extra Large) support safe working loads up to 600 lbs with 4-point strap setups (no chains required).
- Flexible Positioning Angles: Multiple cradle attachment points allow caregivers to set an upright seated posture for commode transfers or a reclined angle for bed transfers.
- Low-Friction & Easy to Clean: Machine washable mesh slides smoothly behind seated patients and wipes down quickly between uses.
Patient Transfer Specialist Insight: Removing and re-applying a standard sling multiple times a day for bathroom visits is exhausting for caregivers and uncomfortable for patients. A dedicated mesh sling with a commode cutout allows a single continuous transfer from bed to toilet and back. Using the outer strap loops sets an upright posture that aligns the user naturally over the commode for proper toileting support.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this sling be used for showering and bathing?
Yes. The quick-drying polyester mesh allows water and soap to pass through freely, making it ideal for both showering and toileting transfers without trapping moisture against the skin.
Do I need chains to attach this sling to a patient lift?
Full Body models (Medium, Large, XL) feature built-in strap loops that attach directly to spreader bars without chains. Only the Standard 39" x 25" model requires optional chains (Drive 13019).
How do I choose the correct size for a patient?
Size selection should be based on the patient's height, weight, and seated dimensions. A sling that is too large creates a fall hazard, while one that is too small causes uncomfortable pinch points. Consult with an OT or PT if you are unsure of the fit.
Disclaimer: Always inspect the sling before every transfer for signs of wear, fraying, or weakened stitching. Never exceed the weight limit of either the sling or the lift. Sizing and transfer protocols should be established in consultation with a qualified medical professional. This product description is not medical advice.
