McKesson Full Body Sling X-Large 600 lb No Head Support

Patient lift transfers are among the highest-risk caregiving tasks for both the patient and the caregiver — and the sling is the single most critical component in that process. The McKesson Full Body Patient Lift Sling in X-Large is built for strength, compatibility, and daily durability: solid polyester construction reinforced at every attachment point, a 600 lb weight capacity, and 4-or-6 cradle point compatibility that works with virtually any floor-style patient lift without chains or straps. The high back design supports the head and neck throughout the full lift arc, and the padded under-thigh section provides the comfort that makes repeated daily transfers more tolerable for patients who require multiple lifts per day. Machine washable and moisture-resistant, it holds up to the cleaning demands of daily clinical and home care use.

Who This Is For

• Caregivers using a floor-style patient lift (Hoyer, Drive, Invacare, McKesson, or compatible) who need a reliable, universal full-body sling for a larger patient in the XL size range
• Home caregivers transferring a fully or partially dependent loved one between bed, wheelchair, shower, commode, sofa, or car — multiple times per day
• Bariatric patients up to 600 lbs who require a correctly sized, appropriately rated full-body sling rather than a standard large sling stretched beyond its design parameters
• Care facilities, home health agencies, and hospice programs that need a durable, machine-washable sling for daily multi-transfer use across varied patient handling tasks
• Anyone replacing a worn, damaged, or incorrectly sized sling and needing a dependable McKesson brand replacement compatible with their existing lift

Key Features

• 600 lb Weight Capacity — Bariatric-Rated: All attachment points are structurally reinforced to support up to 600 lbs — the rating that covers the full range from standard adults through bariatric patients in the XL body size range. Never use a sling at its stated weight limit without a meaningful safety margin — select a sling whose rated capacity meaningfully exceeds the patient's actual weight for safe routine transfers.
• 4-or-6 Cradle Point Compatibility — Universal Floor Lift Use: The sling is designed with 4 attachment loops compatible with both 4-point and 6-point spreader bars on any floor-style patient lift. No optional chains or straps are required — the loops attach directly to the lift hardware. This universal compatibility means the sling works with Hoyer, Drive, Invacare, McKesson, Lumex, Joerns, and most other standard floor lift systems without additional accessories.
• High Back Design — Head and Neck Support Throughout the Lift: The sling extends to a high back section that supports the patient's head and neck during the lift arc — from seated, through the full lift, to transfer destination. For patients who cannot support their own head independently, or who feel unsafe without full posterior support during a lift, the high back configuration provides the support coverage that a standard back-height sling does not. Note: this model is listed as "without head support" — the high back provides posterior skull support but does not include a dedicated head support strap or headrest panel for patients requiring head immobilization.
• Padded Under-Thigh Section — Comfort at the Highest Pressure Points: The leg loops of a full-body sling bear significant concentrated pressure on the posterior thigh during the lift — a common source of discomfort and bruising with unpadded slings, particularly in patients with reduced subcutaneous tissue or fragile skin. The padded under-thigh section of the McKesson sling distributes this pressure across a broader area and cushions the tissue against the sling edges, meaningfully improving comfort for patients who undergo multiple lifts per day.
• Outer Positioning Handle — Assists Placement at Destination: An outer handle on the sling allows the caregiver to manually guide and position the patient as they are lowered into a wheelchair, commode, or chair — without needing to reach under or around the patient. This handle is a practical safety feature that reduces the caregiver's physical effort during the lowering and positioning phase of each transfer.
• Solid Polyester Construction — Moisture-Resistant and Machine Washable: The solid polyester fabric resists deterioration from repeated exposure to moisture and laundering — a critical durability requirement for a sling used in daily hygiene-critical caregiving contexts. Machine wash in warm or cold water; the fabric maintains its structural integrity, weight rating, and reinforcement at attachment points through repeated washing cycles. Not made with natural rubber latex.

Full Body Sling Sizing — XL Versus Large

Selecting the correct sling size is a patient safety requirement. A sling that is too small creates excessive pressure on the thighs and back, may not wrap adequately around the patient's body, and can result in an unsafe transfer. A sling that is too large positions the patient incorrectly in the spreader bar and reduces postural control during the lift. The McKesson XL sling is appropriate for taller and larger patients who exceed the dimensional range of the Large. When in doubt, consult the patient's occupational or physical therapist for a formal sling sizing evaluation.

Important Safety Information

• For use only with floor-style patient lifts — not for use with ceiling track lifts unless confirmed compatible by the lift manufacturer
• Inspect before every use for fraying, tearing, loose stitching at attachment loops, or any compromise to the fabric — discontinue use immediately if any damage is found
• Patient sling sizing and transfer technique should be established by a qualified occupational or physical therapist for each individual patient
• Do not exceed the stated weight capacity of either the sling or the lift — always use the lower of the two ratings
• Single patient use is recommended for infection control — do not share slings between patients
