Invacare Reliant Patient Lift Slings

Choosing the right sling is the single most important safety decision in any patient transfer — and Invacare Reliant slings are built to match the way your patient moves, sits, and needs supporting. This collection covers the full range of Reliant sling styles, from full-body designs for total-dependence transfers to divided-leg and standing slings for patients with more residual strength. Each is compatible with Reliant and most 4- and 6-point compatible floor lifts.

The key question most caregivers ask is which sling for which patient. Full body slings like the Reliant R113 and R116 cradle the entire body with head and neck support, making them the safest choice for non-weight-bearing or minimally responsive patients. The Reliant Full Body Sling with Commode (R115) adds a toileting opening for hygiene transfers without repositioning. Divided leg slings such as the R100 and R102 separate the legs for seated-to-seated transfers and offer easier application from a chair, with head-support versions available for added stability. For patients who can bear some weight and are working toward standing, the Reliant Standing Sling (R131) with waist belt assists sit-to-stand and gait activities.

Sizing matters as much as style. Reliant slings run from medium through extra-large, with a color-coded binding system (green, purple, blue) that helps staff quickly identify size and cradle type. Most models carry a 440–450 lb weight capacity and come in mesh or solid polyester/nylon — mesh dries faster and suits bathing transfers, while solid fabric offers full support and warmth. Always confirm the sling's cradle points (4-point or 6-point) match your lift before use.
