The Invacare Universal High sling in polyester mesh is a full body sling with integrated head support, for use with a compatible lifter where the person needs support through the head, trunk and hips. The person is held in a slightly reclined seated position, and the sling can be used for lifting from a lying position, lifting from the floor and seated to seated transfers. Mesh, also known as net fabric, is intended for bathing and showering because water drains straight through it and the sling dries quickly afterwards. Colour coded loops of differing lengths let the carer choose a more upright or more reclined posture, two centre line markers indicate spinal alignment, a positioning pocket helps the sling pass behind the backrest, and placed handles assist with fitting the sling correctly.

Support that includes the head, in a fabric made for water, is the reason to choose this version, because it allows shower and bath transfers without soaking a solid sling. The reclined posture and adjustable loops help hold a comfortable position for someone with limited head and trunk control, and the open mesh drains and dries between uses rather than staying damp.
