The term “Safe Patient Handling” has become a popular phrase with the national initiative for prevention of caregiver injuries and protection of both patients as well as care workers. Choosing the right method for assisting with transfers that will meet the needs of the patient as well as the caregiver depends of course on the abilities and needs of the individual being transferred. There is a cost effective option for safe handling of individuals who require dependent transfers that I believe provides unmatched versatility at an incredibly cost effective price point.
Portable ceiling lifts:
Easily assembled and taken down (typically less than 10 minutes) – portable ceiling lifts provide a unique option for hospitals, homes or for accessible traveling.
The featured portable ceiling lift system breaks down in to a compact travel size which weighs just 7 pounds, and is rated to lift up to 300# weight capacity. The Waverly Glen P-300 portable ceiling lift allows versatile patient transfers with numerous sling systems.
Portable ceiling lift weight capacities can range up to 440#, with fixed ceiling lifts ranging up to 1000# weight capacities.
Perfect for Accessible travel – the P-300 portable ceiling lift breaks down easily and can be assembled very quickly, and typically requires recharging only every 2-3 days with the ability to lift up and down 20-30 cycles at 300# load. The P-300 system provides advantages over the hoyer as it eliminates the need for an extra maneuvering of the lift, provides a more stable system, and creates an easier transfer for a single caregiver to assist with. Amazingly this system actually costs less than most power hoyer lifts.
Safe patient handling – a perfect option for facilities (hospitals, group homes, and skilled nursing facilities). As facilities look to the need for safe patient handling, having a portable ceiling lift system can provide perhaps one of the most versatile and cost effective options for lift solutions and patient care. Dependent transfers are made much easier with this lift solution, and rather than having limited rooms with fixed ceiling lifts, portable systems can be brought to the patient rooms as indicated and used throughout the entire facility (not just in a limited number of rooms). These ceiling lift systems also present remarkable versatility for patient assistance beyond transfers, and can be utilized for other care tasks with specialty sling systems, including: wound care, and repositioning assistance.
