Slings are used in conjunction with hoists to support a person while they are being lifted and transferred. Patient care often necessitates lifting or providing body movements to perform day to day activities such as walking, toileting, and bathing. Such tasks involve handling of sick or fragile human beings. Hence, these are more complicated and risky than handling materials in industrial settings. Additionally, in some instances, patients and residents may have medical, psychological, or other conditions that can complicate manual lifting and movement activities. Excessive body weight and manual handling can cause musculoskeletal injuries to both care providers as well as patients.
The products considered under the scope of the study encompasses bariatric sling, seating sling, stander sling, universal sling, hammock sling, transfer sling, toileting sling, and others. The others segment primarily includes and provides a cumulative market estimation for bathing sling, pool and spa lifting sling, tri-turner sling, and pediatric sling. Market for universal sling in 2014 has been reported to be the most widely employed and salable product in the past few years. This market is driven by attributes such as comfort, ability to provide neck and back support, broad application areas such as transferring patient from a bed to a chair, wheelchair, or toilet, chair to chair, or from the floor to a bed or chair. Bariatric slings are specifically designed to handle obese patients. Incidence of obesity has increased significantly in the past few years, especially among the aged groups, which augments the difficulty of handling and moving obese patients, expected to act as a prominent driver for bariatric slings segment in forthcoming years. Additionally, in case of caregivers working into their old age, their exposure rate to occupational injuries while handling bulky and heavy weight patients has been a major concern among provider groups, especially in the emerging markets.
Transfer sling is considered to be one of the fastest growing product segment which is used for positioning and repositioning a patient resting in horizontal position. The positioning sling/transfer sling is intended to be permanently in place as part of the patient's bedding. The unique characteristic which differentiate it from other segments include the ability to render lateral transfer of patient between horizontal surfaces such as from bed to stretcher or between two beds. Moreover, hammock sling has been acknowledged by professionals as one of the most comfortable and supportive slings for both home and institutional use. Additionally, hammock slings base on case to case basis can be used by amputees or to provide individual leg support for patients who are particularly sensitive to pressure.
Seating, standing and toileting slings are among the most frequently used sling in both large as well as medium sized hospitals across the globe. The emerging market is found to be the most contributing and fastest growing region for the aforementioned three product segments. Seated sling are primarily used to transfer a patient from one room to other due to its specific characteristics such as excellent back and leg support and quick and easy to fit properties. Similar to hammock slings, there are long seated slings available in the market for amputees who require sling for an extended period such as during bed making or bathing. Whereas, stander sling are designed to lift the patient comfortably from a seated position to a relaxed upright position. Stander slings are majorly used while sitting to and from bed, wheelchair, and bathing and shower chair.
