McKesson Full Body Sling – Large
McKesson Full Body Solid Polyester Mechanical Patient Lift Sling with Head Support — Large, 600 lb Capacity
Heavy-Duty Solid Polyester Transfer Sling with Integrated Head Support, High-Back Structure, 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 146-13223L) is a high-strength transfer sling engineered for secure, controlled patient movements in residential and facility environments. Designed for general everyday transfers between beds, wheelchairs, chairs, and commodes, this sling provides total posterior support for individuals with partial or full 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. Unlike low-back models, this Large configuration includes integrated head support to stabilize the cranial and cervical regions throughout elevation—making it ideal for users with low neck control. Equipped with cushioned under-thigh padding to prevent tissue trauma, 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.
Key Features & Benefits
- Integrated Head Support Panel: Extended high-back structure cradles the head and neck, providing crucial cervical stability during vertical elevation.
- Solid Polyester Construction: Heavy-duty woven polyester resists moisture absorption, staining, and wear from frequent laundering.
- 600 lb Safe Working Load: High-tensile reinforced stitching at all attachment points safely supports standard through bariatric weight capacities.
- Universal 4 or 6-Point Cradle Compatibility: Direct-connect strap loops interface seamlessly with floor lifts from Hoyer®, Bestcare®, Drive, Invacare, and McKesson.
- Padded Under-Thigh Section: Cushioned leg support panels distribute user weight evenly to eliminate pressure hot spots and prevent skin shear.
- Outer Positioning Assist Handle: Rear-mounted handle enables caregivers to guide alignment smoothly when lowering users into chairs or wheelchairs.
- 100% Latex-Free & Machine Washable: Manufactured without natural rubber latex; holds up through repeated warm or cold laundering cycles.
Patient Transfer Specialist Insight: The inclusion of integrated head support on this Large 58″ x 45″ solid sling is essential for patients with poor neck tone or those recovering from neurological conditions. Solid polyester provides a firm, supportive base during room-to-room movements, while the rear positioning handle allows caregivers to easily seat users deep into a chair without struggling against gravity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this Large McKesson sling support users who lack neck control?
Yes. This model (146-13223L) features integrated head support that extends behind the head and neck, providing the necessary stabilization for individuals who cannot hold their head up independently.
Will this sling work with Hoyer or Bestcare lifts?
Yes. The multi-loop attachment straps are universally designed to hook directly onto standard 4-point or 6-point spreader bars found on Hoyer®, Bestcare®, Drive, Invacare, and McKesson floor lifts.
Is this solid polyester sling suitable for showering or bathing?
While solid polyester is moisture-resistant and machine washable, it does hold water during submersion. For dedicated showering and bathing applications, a porous mesh grid sling is recommended for optimal drainage.
