Pro-Lock Disposable Sling: Single-Patient Infection Control Sling by Select Healthcare
The Pro-Lock Disposable Sling by Select Healthcare is a single-patient use sling designed for infection control situations where reusable slings present a cross-contamination risk.
Supporting patients up to 230kg, the sling integrates with compatible hoist spreader bars via the Pro-Lock clip attachment system. After single-patient use, the sling is disposed of as clinical waste, eliminating decontamination and laundry processing. The disposable format is cost-effective in high-turnover settings, short-term care episodes, and isolation environments.

Clinical and Regulatory Compliance
Patient slings used with mechanical hoists are governed by LOLER 1998, requiring that lifting accessories are appropriate and maintained.
Disposable slings are single-patient use only and should be disposed of as clinical waste after each patient episode. CQC Regulation 12 requires that lifting equipment and accessories are appropriate to individual needs. Always verify sling compatibility with the specific hoist and spreader bar before use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this sling compatible with all hoist models?
The Pro-Lock clip system is designed for compatible Select Healthcare and partner hoist spreader bars. Compatibility with other hoist manufacturers is not guaranteed. Always verify that the Pro-Lock clips fit the specific spreader bar before use. Using incompatible slings creates a risk of clip detachment during patient transfer.
When should disposable slings be used instead of reusable ones?
Disposable slings are indicated in infection control situations (isolation rooms, MRSA/C. difficile precautions), short-term care episodes where a dedicated reusable sling is not justified, high-turnover environments where laundry turnaround cannot guarantee a clean sling per patient, and any situation where cross-contamination risk must be eliminated.
