SIGNS OF QUALITY: #1 - The Humble Bar Tack

One important indicator of a quality patient sling is the Bar Tack (sometimes written as 'Bar-Tack' or 'Bartack'). All slings have bar tacks (or should have) but not all bar tacks are created equal. The Bar Tack has an essential safety function as the integrity of the straps and therefore the whole sling depends on them. Inferior patient slings regularly have Bar Tacks that are not central to the strap (scarily, some even overrun the edge of the strap!) and often have shoddy finishing with loose thread, etc. Loose thread will just become even looser thread in time and your sling will fail its next LOLER test.

Osprey Sling Company's bar tacks are always central to the strap (or production equipment ensures that). Each one is finished properly so that there is no loose thread. Our bar tack thread colour is always in high contrast to that of the strap so that visual inspection is made easier. Osprey's bar tacks are always of the 'boxed x' variety so that they offer the same load-bearing strength if pulled in any direction.

Remember - it is attention to even the small detail that makes a top quality patient sling!
