Safety and Compatibility

CE MarkingAll of our slings have been fully load and durability tested and carry the CE mark in accord­ance with the Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC (as amended 2007)

Although the use of Wispa slings is recommended, user safety, comfort and personal choice is paramount when selecting appropriate equipment. Chiltern Invadex acknowledge that users often require the use of a sling by another manufacturer or require the use of a Wispa sling on another manufacturers hoist. We do not advise against this and offer guidance to ensure the safety of all parties involved in the lifting process. A copy of our Sling Compatibility Statement is available for download here.

Moving and Handling

"I have recently had a shower room installation by your company and I now write to praise the installers. They have done a cracking job, the tiling is excellent. They were kind, courteous and kept us informed what was happening. They are both a real asset to your company"
