Lifts

When you are in the market for a patient lift, you will have a number of options to choose from. The most budget-friendly choice is a manual patient lift. These devices rely on hydraulics, so they can function without electricity. This comes in handy during a power outage, but keep in mind that manual patient lifts do require physical strength to operate.
An electric patient lift is a worthwhile investment for those who need long-term support. These devices are also the best choice for patients who need a higher weight capacity. Electric models can be powered with rechargeable batteries or with electricity, and they are much easier to operate than manual patient lifts.

Slings

You will need to select a patient sling that is compatible with your lift device. The dimensions and weight capacity of the sling should also accommodate the size and weight of the patient, and provide the level of support they need. Full-body slings are available for those who need maximum support, while patients with spinal injuries will require a specially designed stretcher sling to perform a safe transfer. Some other options include padded slings, commode slings, and slings with head support.

You can find all these options and more at Grace Home Respiratory in Altoona, WI. Feel free to ask our qualified salespeople for assistance.
