Tortoise^® Sling, the newest offering in the Mölnlycke^® Tortoise^® portfolio, is an all-in-one system that puts people first to ensure safe patient handling and prevent pressure injuries.

It addresses the concerns of hospital nursing teams who worry about jeopardizing their pressure injury management bundle when transferring patients, as well as the potential for back injuries among staff. Most systems only deal with one part of mobility and one set of needs, which means that either the patient or staff are overlooked and underserved.

By putting people at the heart of Tortoise Sling – not just patients – the well-being of your staff is also a priority. And when we care for staff, we improve the patient experience.

• Allows hospital staff to turn, boost and transfer patients

• Enables the caregiver to utilize the lift when repositioning or transferring patients. Also works manually when no lift is available

• Improves pressure redistribution (in both bed and chair) replacing the need for mattress overlays and seat cushions

• Helps maintain the intended degree of turn and protects bony prominences
