EvoSling Shadow HighBack is a sling with a split leg support, ensuring comfort and flexibility. This model suits users with need for extra support, as it adapts to the contours of the body. EvoSling Shadow HighBack works in many hoisting situations, but is particularly suitable for transfers to wheel-chairs, including those with moulded seats, when the sling needs to be left in place under the user.
The EvoSling Shadow has six suspension straps with several sling bar loops, giving it flexibility. The sitting angle and head support can be adjusted to the individual user, and the user’s arms may be placed inside or outside the sling.
Follows the contours of the body
The EvoSling Shadow HighBack is made from a flexible polyester mesh which is permeable to moisture and heat. This model has no pockets or padding and has an extra-thin webbing edge. The EvoSling Shadow can be left in place in the wheelchair or seat after the transfer.
The head support is adjustable to three different positions. The larger sizes, M-XL have a curved head support.
Designed primarily for 2-point sling bars, can also be used with 4-point sling bars.

The width of the sling bar
When assessing for the right size, measure the shoulder width of the user; the sling bar should have approximately the same length.
If the sling bar is too narrow the user might feel cramped and uncomfortable - and the respiration could be affected.
On the other hand, if the sling bar is much too wide there is a risk that the user is pushed forward in the sling because the head straps of the slings are being pulled outwards. This is especially important to think about when hoisting children and small adults.
