Battery-Powered Patient Lift/ Hoyer Lift Rental

The most common types of patient lifts are manual, battery-powered, and electric lifts. Sit-to-stand lifts, ceiling lifts, and sling lifts are other options available. Each has its use in transferring patients from their beds to chairs or for the mobility-impaired to support their need.

Some patient lifts cost more, mainly because they are highly advanced with features such as higher weight capacity, better battery efficiency, and adjustable options. Patient lifts made for specific purposes, like bariatric or ceiling mounted, tend to be priced more expensive due to durability and intricacy. Brand and quality can also influence prices.

The use of patient lifts instead of manual lifting minimizes the possibility of injury to the patient and also the caregiver. This is because proper body mechanics is guaranteed, and there will be no muscle strain, while it offers safer transfers to the patient with mobility issues. This is crucial to the patient who may require multiple transfers.

Patient lifts come with a sling, which provides support and stability while lifting or transferring a patient. It is placed under the patient and attached to the lift to ensure a secure and even lift. There are various designs of slings, depending on whether the patient needs to be sitting, reclining, or fully supported.
