Innovating Solutions For Smaller Sizes
Silvalea continues to lead the way in innovation, delivering specialist transfer solutions. With an expanding portfolio designed specifically for paediatric and small-stature patients, Silvalea is redefining what’s possible in next-generation care. Most importantly, these solutions are purpose-built rather than just scaled-down adult sizes, prioritising comfort, support, and safer handling. Designed for use across clinical, community, and educational settings, the right equipment does more than assist with care — it promotes independence, inclusion, and dignity.
Gary Bevan, President and Director of Silvalea added:
‘’Silvalea have been at the forefront of sling transfer designs for all body shapes, working alongside healthcare professionals for over 30 years. This has enabled us to create a library of unique designs either available as off-the-shelf solutions or bespoke options where required.’’
One of our newest products includes the
Small Air Comfort Deluxe V2 Chair, a versatile seating system for those who require optimum comfort and pressure redistribution. The Air Comfort technology allows the seating surface to contour naturally to the body, helping to reduce pressure points while providing full support. The tilt-in-space and recline options give an enhanced seating experience for patients of varying
needs, and the adjustable wings and drop-down arms allow for easier side transfers.
Silvalea’s wider paediatric and small-stature offerings include supportive transfer slings for various scenarios, as well as rehabilitation-focused designs that assist with standing and walking development.
A Paediatric Occupational Therapist from Devon added:
“We love the paediatric In-Situ Deluxe Leg sling in Superfine for its lightweight design. It’s helpful for children adjusting to being hoisted and still want to see their surroundings. Silvalea’s paediatric products are excellent and designed with care.”
For more
complex scenarios, such as those who have
difficulty in maintaining body control, the
Tinkham Sling is often a
trusted choice. The padded head support, divided leg, and thoracic section offers full support and safety during transfers.
The
Rachel Harness is part of our
rehabilitation range, enabling children to
safely engage in activities with
stand and walk assistance. A lightweight design ensures a secure fit without restricting movement, allowing independence and
empowering young people to take part with confidence. At the heart of Silvalea’s paediatric and small-persons range is a commitment to thoughtful design, clinical expertise, and exceptionally high-quality manufacturing standards — ensuring safer, more supportive care.
