Patient slings

We have an extensive range of slings for use in combination with a hoist. Within our range we have In Situ Slings, Regular Slings, Toilet Slings, Standing Slings and more. All slings can be tailored to individual needs and specific adjustments are also possible.

In Situ Slings

VIP In Situ Slings support the patient's entire body while making the transfer. The sling runs under the seat, so the piping and darts of the sling are not under the seat. As a result, the In Situ Sling can remain in the chair after the transfer.

Regular Slings

Regular Slings are designed to fully support the patient during the transfer in combination with a passive hoist. The sling is suitable for general use and leaves part of the patient's seat free as the piping is applied up to the tailbone. This makes it easy to apply and remove from the chair.

Toilet Slings

Toilet Slings are intended for toileting and offers the possibility to make a direct transfer from (wheel) chair to the toilet or toilet chair.

Standing Slings

Standing Slings are used in combination with an active standing hoist and provide comfortable support during transfers. They are available with careclips or loops.

Tailored materials for every application
You can choose from a variety of materials, each selected to meet different needs and applications. For example Bamboo, a breathable fabric with quick-drying and thermo-regulating properties. Or choose for Recycled Polyester — a sustainable fabric created from recycled PET bottles. This eco-friendly option not only reduces your ecological footprint but also features a smooth texture, soft feel, and long-lasting durability for optimal patient comfort.
 
All slings are available in multiple sizes, ranging from XXS to 3XL (depending on the model). You can find all product specifications in the product filter on our website or download our Sling overview, which also includes a size chart.
 
In case our standard range does not offer the right solution, we can also develop a customised sling that meets the individual needs of the patient.

Production

Confexion is our textile workshop in Assen, the Netherlands. Here, all JOYinCARE’s slings and transfer aids are produced since 2009. Every product is designed with one mission in mind: to ensure maximum comfort for the patient while reducing physical strain for caregivers. All products are made in the Netherlands, with great attention to detail – and with care for people, society, and the environment.

Purpose-driven production

Confexion is more than just a sewing atelier. It’s where high-quality healthcare aids are created by a dedicated team of 20 professionals – over 30% of whom have a (temporary) need for extra support or development. In recognition of this, Confexion was awarded the Dutch PSO (Social Enterprise Performance Ladder) in 2025 – the highest honor for inclusive and socially responsible entrepreneurship.

Our team is experienced, committed, and proud of the work they do. That pride shows in the quality of every single product. Everything is made with great care and attention to detail, resulting in reliable, safe, and durable solutions.

A solution for every care situation

Our extensive range of slings and transfer aids offers the right solution for every care situation. With years of experience in design and production, we can create solutions that truly fit. Each item is handmade, tested, and carefully checked in our Assen workshop.

A place to learn and connect

Confexion is also a place of learning and inspiration. In our on-site training space, we regularly welcome dealers, customers, other (care) businesses, and local authorities interested in socially inclusive employment or reducing physical strain in healthcare. The space is fully equipped with modern lifting solutions and suitable for workshops, hands-on training, or private sessions for up to 35 participants. You’re welcome to visit us here!

Sustainability

At JOYinCARE, we launched the Green Care Concept in 2023. The Green Care Concept is a circular approach designed to reduce the environmental impact of JOYinCARE’s slings. It considers the full lifecycle of the product — from production and shipping to use, repair, collection, and recycling. Step by step, we implement improvements to reduce the environmental footprint of our products and contribute to a more sustainable healthcare sector.
 
All our slings are produced by Confexion, our sewing workshop in Assen, The Netherlands. In 2022, the workshop moved to a new production facility. Thanks to 120 solar panels, the workshop is now nearly energy self-sufficient.
 
Material selection plays a key role in the development of our products. While safety and quality remain top priorities, choosing the right materials also opens the door to more sustainable alternatives. For example, we are increasingly switching to recycled materials, such as polyester made from recycled PET bottles. This choice alone results in a 66% reduction in CO₂ emissions from material production compared to non-recycled fabrics.
