View Full DetailsPatient lifts and slings are essential tools for caregivers and medical professionals to assist in the safe transfer of patients who have limited mobility. These devices not only make the process of lifting and transferring patients easier and more efficient, but they also prevent injuries and ensure patient comfort. In this comprehensive guide, we will provide a detailed overview of patient lifts and slings, their types, benefits, and how to choose the right one for your needs.
Patient lifts and slings are assistive devices used to transfer patients who have limited mobility. These devices are designed to lift and move patients from one surface to another, such as from a bed to a wheelchair, without putting any strain on the patient or the caregiver.
Patient lifts are made up of a base, a mast, and a boom. The base is the foundation of the lift and has wheels to move it around. The mast is the vertical structure that connects the base to the boom, which is the horizontal arm used to lift the patient. Patient lifts can be either electric or manual.
On the other hand, patient slings are fabric or mesh devices that are attached to the boom of the patient lift. They are available in different sizes and types to accommodate patients of different weights, sizes, and needs. Patient slings can be divided into two categories: stand-assist slings and full-body slings.

The ease in which my mom can exit the bed is a blessing! The fact that she loves the bed is all I need to be happy! Thank you!
This came at a time when there was a crisis with my husbands health. It is very manly and because you made it so easy, just unpack and go, I was saved much stress. Thank you for such a awesome product.
I have not been using them for a long time, but when you have bladder leakage, dependable is the best thing in the world. I am grateful for your product, thank you.
These masks are very comfortable and also different mood colors. Better than the plain black or hospital blue masks. Need more designs.
This mattress is excellent for anyone who has a special needs individual that isn't potty trained or is prone to accidents. It's makes clean up a breeze and they get a good quality mattress with great support. I highly recommend this mattress for anyone who may have incontinent issues.

The overbed table is just what I needed to elevate my phone, alarm clock and C-Pap
machine at the same height at the side of
my bed. I could not find an end table high
enough or large enough. It is worth getting.
