Raymond I also prefer two straps. The VA just got me new straps in Dec. The straps are a mesh material instead of solid strap material. With the mesh material you do have to make sure the material is stretched over your shoulder area and legs or it can wad up, but they work well for me.

I am a C 3/4 quadriplegic and since I left the rehab facility 15 years ago I have been using two straps about 6 inches wide {instead of a sling} whenever I hoyer in and out of my wheelchair. One of them goes behind my shoulders and the other goes under my knees. I want to replace those straps and cannot find them available anywhere. All I can find are slings now and we are used to the straps and would really like to stay with them. Does anybody on here have an idea where I could purchase them or have them made? Thank you in advance for any ideas you I hope everybody has a good weekend.Raymond Kelly __________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
