A general-purpose lifting device used together with a patient lifting system to provide a support for an incapacitated patient or a person with a disability that is being lifted in a sitting position with their body (back, arms, buttocks and upper legs) held within the sling for transfer and (re)positioning. It is typcially constructed of straps, belts and material in which the occupant is cradled and contained during the lifting process; some types may employ additional straps, belts or vest-like harnesses to safely secure the occupant within the device. It typically has lifting straps or eyes that attach to a two-point, three-point or four-point spreader bar. This is a reusable device.
