Product Information

Hoists: A hoist is a mechanical device that is used to lift and transfer individuals from beds, chairs, or the floor. They come in various types, including hoist lifts, sit-to-stand lifts, and overhead lifts. Patient transfer boards come in a variety of shapes and lengths. For transfers across a larger gap such as between a wheelchair and a car seat a long transfer board may be needed. If the gap is shorter such as between a chair and a toilet seat or bed a smaller transfer board should be enough. There are also specially designed wheelchair transfer boards that may be curved or notched to make getting in and out of a wheelchair easier. Measure the typical distance of your transfers to buy the right length patient transfer board for your needs. mattress elevators usually have a hinged frame which is placed between, and strapped to, the bed base and the mattress. Depending on the model chosen, the mattress is raised by air from a powered compressor inflating an air bag enclosed in the frame, or by a hydraulic piston attached to the frame;

Some rollers are padded and can, occasionally, be left in position under the person; others are very thin and are nearly always removed after use. If a roller is left in position it is important to ensure the person will not accidentally slip out of bed. Many of the solid discs use ball bearings in the swivel mechanism, which may result in fast turning that can be difficult to control. However, this may be useful when a heavier person is moving, as their weight sometimes prohibits discs without ball bearings from turning on one another.If a person is unable to take any of their weight through their legs, advice should ALWAYS be sought from a therapist as to the safest method of assisting or moving them out of bed. Most people are not strong enough to lift someone (including many children) from the bed onto a chair/wheelchair/commode. Equipment which will do the lifting instead is available or sometimes the person may be able to slide across. Because of the lightweight and convenient grip handle, the SafetySure Transfer Pivot Disc is easy to use and carry. The SafetySure Transfer Pivot Disc is made of three high quality polymer plates, one turning on top of the other. The SafetySure Transfer Pivot Disc is also equipped with anti-glide tape on both sides to prevent slipping on the floor or when a patient is standing on the disc.

A semi-standing aid, perhaps combined with a sling enables a user to be transferred and lowered onto a toilet more easily than using a conventional hoist, provided they are able to weight-bear sufficiently. Both domestic and hospital versions of variable posture beds are available. The domestic ones tend to be smaller with a wooden or padded headboard and generally look more homely. The hospital versions are larger, usually with a metal frame, more resilient and often have a choice of nursing functions. three-section variable posture beds slightly raise the user’s knees, forming a knee break that may prevent him/her from sliding down the bed;

Mobility level: Assess the individual's mobility and the extent of assistance they require. Some lifting aids are better suited for those with limited mobility or weight-bearing ability. those with a powered mechanism are usually controlled with a handset. Although powered by a motor, most are quiet or almost silent; Person-centred care should be the underlying philosophy, and without knowing anything about your sister’s individual circumstances, in general it is better to use a standing transfer aid if a person is able to do so, as they will otherwise lose that ability to weight bear, at least for a short time. Adjustable height beds can be powered manually or electrically. Manually operated beds usually have a hydraulic mechanism that raises and lowers the bed. This movement may feel jerky as the bed rises. The control is often a foot pump at the side of the bed. It cannot be operated by the user. Sometimes it is regarded as home nursing equipment, i.e. that which a community nurse considers necessary to help him or her carry out nursing duties effectively. Examples of items that may be supplied by the community nurse are:
