What is Shuttlesling?

Shuttlesling® is a simple, straightforward and safe garment designed specifically to help carers enhance the lives of patients with chronic, immobilising conditions. Shuttlesling® enables the patient to be moved quickly and easily, which increases their general mobility significantly. It reduces the time and effort needed by carers to handle patients through safe transition and movement in a dignified manner.

Textile Support Skeletal

The structural skeletal is woven out of a high tenacity textile yarn capable of supporting over 300kg

Traditional Textile Gown

The skeletal is combined with an inner gown which provides comfort and dignity to the patient

Integrated Lifting Garment

The sling mechanism is permanently integrated into the gown and distributes the patient's weight via a 6-point load system

Shuttlesling® is available in a range of sizes (S/M/L) and can be tailored to bespoke measurements.
Shuttlesling® has been designed with patient comfort and dignity in mind and is fully adaptable for toileting needs.
