Hygiene Product Prism Medical hygiene slings are created exclusively for toileting and hygiene. Because most users have full access, hygiene slings are appropriate for independent transfer and toileting. Hygiene slings can be used in conjunction with a lifting hoist or a stand aid. While the individual is suspended within the sling, this allows them to remove or refit their lower clothing for toileting transfers. Because the individual's position will become more extended as he or she is lifted, the ability to change the tension on the chest band is a crucial feature for the individual's comfort and security. Furthermore, cushioning is only placed to the exterior of the leg parts, removing needless bulk in locations where it is not required.
