Care & Independence launch new sit-to-stand sling for users with restricted mobility

He commented: “Delivering high on performance and quality yet at a competitive price point, we genuinely believe the Comfort Value Transport offers a low-cost yet highly functional item for community equipment stores, care homes, catalogue providers and other such multi-user providers.
“With a capacity for repeated issue over its lifespan by multiple users, this sit-to-stand solution really should be a staple stocked item up and down the country.”
Made from a strong and durable soft-knit polyester material, the sling is easy to fit with looped straps allowing for an adjustable angle of recline based on individual user needs.
User comfort consideration has been achieved through generous padded under arms and to the leg sections. A non-slip back panel and adjustable clunk-click buckle chest band allay any security concerns during use.
