The McKesson Full Body Polyester Mesh Patient Lift Sling with Commode Opening in Large (Model 146-13221L) is a heavy-duty transfer sling engineered for comfortable, secure, and hygienic transfers. Built specifically for use in wet environments like showers and baths, as well as daily toileting transfers to commodes or bath chairs, this sling eliminates fluid retention while providing direct hygiene access.
Constructed from high-tensile, breathable mesh polyester fabric, the sling features reinforced stitching at every stress point to support safe working loads up to 600 lbs. Designed for users with independent head control, this high-back model incorporates an integrated central commode aperture that streamlines bathroom routines without removing the sling. Equipped with cushioned under-thigh padding, a rear positioning handle for guided seat alignment, and universal attachment loops compatible with 4-point or 6-point spreader bars, this sling connects directly to floor lifts without needing external chains or extra straps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this mesh commode sling be used directly in the shower?
Yes. The porous polyester mesh allows water and soap to pass through freely without holding water weight. It drains instantly and dries rapidly after use.
Does this Large model require a patient to have head control?
Yes. While this sling features a high-back profile for upper torso stability, it is classified "without head support." Patients who cannot support their own head independently require a sling with an extended rigid headrest panel.
Will this sling connect to Hoyer or Bestcare lifts?
Yes. The built-in attachment loops are universally engineered to hook directly onto standard 4-point and 6-point spreader bars on Hoyer®, Bestcare®, Drive, Invacare, and McKesson floor lifts without needing additional chains.
