Toilet and Dress Sling - discreet toileting support and ease of dressing with secure body belt design.
- Wide Leg Sections for Toileting Access During Suspension - the Toilet and Dress Sling's wide leg sections are specifically shaped to allow a carer to access the perineal area for clothing removal and toileting care while the resident is partially suspended by the hoist; the wide format of the leg sections means they do not obstruct the area below the pelvis, allowing undergarments or incontinence products to be removed and replaced without requiring the resident to be fully lowered to a seated surface and reharnessed; this single-suspension approach to hoisted toileting reduces the number of lift cycles per toileting event, reducing both carer effort and the time the resident is in the hoist.
- Slide Sheet Material on Leg Sections Reduces Clothing Removal Friction - the leg sections are constructed from the same slide sheet material used in repositioning aids, providing a low-friction interface between the sling leg section and the resident's clothing as it is drawn down and removed; this friction reduction allows the carer to pull down and remove undergarments or incontinence products across the leg section surface without generating the skin shear that would occur if the fabric was dragged against bare skin or against a standard sling material; the slide sheet surface also assists re-dressing by allowing clothing to be drawn back up the leg section smoothly.
- Adjustable Hook-and-Loop Body Belt for Waist Security - the hook-and-loop body belt wraps around the resident's waist or lower torso to provide a secure fixing point that maintains the resident in the correct position within the sling during the toileting procedure; the adjustable closure allows the belt to be fitted snugly across different waist circumferences; the fully padded construction of the sling body provides comfort during the extended period the resident may be partially suspended during the toileting event.

Regulatory Compliance
The Toilet and Dress Sling is a lifting accessory for lifting persons, subject to LOLER 1998 with 6-monthly thorough examination and pre-use visual inspection before every use. The body belt and sling stitching must be inspected for wear, fraying, or belt attachment failure before each use. Staff must receive specific competency training in hoisted toileting technique, including the sequence for clothing removal and replacement during partial suspension. The toileting-in-a-sling technique must be documented in the resident's care plan. CQC Regulation 10 (dignity) must be observed during hoisted toileting; the procedure must be conducted with appropriate privacy and the minimum number of carers needed for safe operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the correct technique for hoisted toileting using the Toilet and Dress Sling, and how is dignity maintained?
Hoisted toileting using the Toilet and Dress Sling requires specific training and a care plan protocol; the general sequence is: fit the sling while the resident is seated, with the body belt adjusted to the resident's waist and the leg sections correctly positioned; use the hoist to lift the resident to a height that allows the carer to access the clothing at the waist and lower body while the resident is partially suspended - not fully elevated, as a lower elevation is more comfortable and reduces the suspension duration; remove undergarments or incontinence products through the wide leg section access zone; position the resident over the toilet, commode, or bedpan; lower the resident to the seated position for toileting; after toileting, re-lift to the partially suspended position for re-dressing; and then lower to the destination seat or bed. Dignity is maintained by conducting the procedure in a private space with the bathroom door closed or curtains drawn, minimising the number of carers present to the minimum required for safe technique (typically one carer for residents within the sling's design capacity), speaking to the resident throughout the procedure to maintain communication and reduce anxiety, and working efficiently to minimise the duration of the partial suspension. The care plan must document the specific sequence and the privacy protocol.
When is the optional NCL-HSL700 head support version indicated, and how does it differ from the standard sling?
The NCL-HSL700 is the version of the Toilet and Dress Sling that incorporates integrated head support and uses a clip fastening rather than the standard loop fastening of the NCL-HSL200 series. The head support version is indicated for residents who require head and neck control during a hoisted lift - the same clinical indications as the Universal Deluxe Sling with Head Support (ID 274): inability to maintain head position independently during the lift due to neck muscle weakness, severe reduction in neck tone, or conditions causing involuntary head movement. The clip fastening of the NCL-HSL700 means it is compatible with clip-fastening hoists; the care team must confirm whether the hoist in use accepts clip fastenings before selecting the NCL-HSL700. For residents who do not require head support and whose hoist accepts loop fastenings, the standard NCL-HSL200 series is more appropriate. The prescribing occupational therapist must assess the head support requirement and the hoist fastening compatibility as part of the sling prescription, and this must be documented in the care plan.
