The McKesson Full Body Solid Polyester Patient Lift Sling with Commode Opening in Medium (Model 146-13221M) is a specialized transfer sling engineered for safe, hygienic, and efficient toileting transfers in homecare and medical facility environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the commode opening work during transfers?
The commode opening is a central cutout in the sling seat. Caregivers can lift the user from a bed or chair and lower them directly onto a commode or toilet without having to remove or readjust the sling assembly.

Yes. This model (146-13221M) includes an integrated head support panel that extends behind the neck and head, providing cervical stabilization during elevation.
Will this sling fit Hoyer or BestCare patient lifts?
Yes. The multi-loop attachment straps are universally engineered to hook directly onto standard 4-point and 6-point spreader bar cradles on Hoyer®, BestCare®, Drive, Invacare, and McKesson floor lifts.
