Patient Hoist LifterVersatile Equipment for Patient Care
Lifting or transferring a patient manually can be inconvenient for the patient as well as their caregiver. It is daunting, and can even cause injuries. A mobile floor hoist can eliminate all these concerns, making the entire caregiving routine more efficient and dignified. Each transfer, from bed to couch to wheelchair to car, will have enhanced safety. If you or someone you know is in need of a floor hoist, we can help you choose the right floor lifter for your needs.
Our experts look at four aspects primarily while suggesting a product.
- Condition of the Patient in Care: How safe and comfortable can a specific floor lifter be for the person? For example, someone with deficient body control may need a full-body sling and a hoist with an anti-rotation mechanism to avoid involuntary rotation.
- The Patient’s Weight: If there’s a mismatch in this respect, safety gets compromised, and even the equipment may not last long. So, we always check a hoist’s SWL (Safe Working Load) before making a recommendation.
- Property Layout: We consider the area where the hoist will be used. It might be a home or a hospital, we check whether it is convenient to manoeuvre the chosen equipment in that area.
- Transfer Purposes & Preferences: We also consider the patient's other preferences, such as the need for transport. If they want to travel with the hoist, we will suggest a product with relevant features—foldable, compact, etc.
Once you find the right floor hoist, our team will give comprehensive training on how to use the equipment safely and effectively. We also offer efficient maintenance services, which include breakdown service and preventative maintenance. In essence, we will support you in every essential way with your hoist lifter.
