Moving & Handling presenting the Cobalt Sling Range

Cobalt Health is excited to present our comprehensive range of patient slings. Our UK-made sling range is designed with both the users and carers in mind. The range is designed to ensure patient comfort and safety, while also providing functionality, durability, and ease of use for carers.

The Cobalt Health Moving and Handling range offer a wide variety of slings, designed to be used with lifting and standing Hoists, and are available with both loop and clip (keyhole) fittings. Sling selection should only be made after a comprehensive Risk Assessment has been completed, which will reflect each user's individual physical and cognitive characteristics as well as the task(s) to be performed.

The Standing Sling (Stand Aid Belt), is designed to provide support during standing movement, such as seat to seat (including toilet) transfers and can also be used for gait training, for users with sufficient standing stability and standing function, but low balance, who can actively participate in the transfer.
