Durable Solid Polyester Transfer Sling with Extended Back Support, Padded Under-Thigh Section, Rear Positioning Assist Handle, 600 lb Safe Working Load, and Universal 4 or 6-Point Cradle Compatibility
The McKesson Full Body Solid Polyester Patient Lift Sling in Large (Model 146-13222L) is a heavy-duty, high-capacity transfer sling engineered for safe, controlled patient movements in residential and healthcare facility environments. Designed for general everyday transfers between beds, wheelchairs, chairs, and commodes, this sling delivers exceptional torso support and comfort for individuals with partial or total dependency.
Constructed from high-density, moisture-resistant solid blue polyester, the sling features reinforced stitching at every stress point to support safe working loads up to 600 lbs. Tailored specifically for users with independent head control, this low-back profile model incorporates cushioned under-thigh padding to reduce leg pressure and prevent tissue irritation during elevation. Equipped with an outer positioning assist handle for guided seating alignment and universal attachment loops compatible with 4-point or 6-point spreader bars, this sling connects directly to floor lifts without requiring external chains or extra straps.
Key Features & Benefits
- Solid Polyester Construction: High-tensile woven polyester resists moisture absorption, staining, and wear from frequent laundering.
- 600 lb Safe Working Load: Heavy-duty reinforced stitching at all attachment points safely supports standard through bariatric weight capacities.
- Universal 4 or 6-Point Spreader Bar Fit: Direct-connect strap loops interface smoothly with floor-style lifts from Hoyer, Drive, Invacare, McKesson, and Lumex.
- Padded Under-Thigh Section: Cushioned leg support panels distribute user weight evenly to eliminate high-pressure hot spots during elevation.

Patient Transfer Specialist Insight: Solid polyester slings are the gold standard for daily dry transfers between bed and chair.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between this solid polyester sling and a mesh sling?
Solid polyester slings provide a smooth, sturdy surface best suited for dry room-to-room, bed, and chair transfers. Mesh slings are porous and designed specifically for showering or bathing applications so water can drain through immediately.
Do I need sling chains to connect this to my floor lift?
No. This sling features built-in multi-loop attachment straps that connect directly to standard 4-point or 6-point spreader bars on most mobile floor lifts without extra chains.
Does this Large model support users who lack head control?
No. This model (146-13222L) is classified "without head support." Patients who cannot maintain independent head and neck control require a sling equipped with an integrated extended headrest support panel.
