Dear Patient Lift Customer:
Hi, my name is Elaine Latham and I am a Patient Lift Specialist.
? As a caregiver,
nurse, user, . . .How do you know what bath, pool, spa, toilet, manual,
hydraulic, electric, Fat heavy duty hoyer or patient lift to purchase; and
how do you pick the correct type and size sling; how do you pick the correct
base style with adequate clearance; how do you pick the right weight
capabilities?
To pick the correct patient lift, we need to discuss what the lift will be
used for; Where will the lift be; How often will the lift be used; Who will
use the lift or be in the lift . . . We need to know when picking out a sling:
The height and weight of the person; What movement they can control; What
needs are being met; The individuals condition; Is it needed for toileting
or bathing; Will the patient be in the sling for a long period of time.
You may be lifting a patient from the bed to a wheelchair or need a lift
that is small and comfortable for "Sit to Stand-up Training.


You may need a Fat Heavy Duty model -
our specialty!
We have very many small, easy and comfortable lifters for transfers and stand-up
training. Many lifts will meet the demand for sit-to-sit transfers for patients
that have trouble standing, but are able to participate to some extent in
the lift. Easy to maneuver and compact -just as practical at home or in an
institutional care situation.
Most basic units include a full range of optional accessories that quickly
converts the basic lifter for use in a variety of lifting operations: sling
lifting, to and from the toilet, horizontal transfers by stretcher, weighing
etc. All with one basic lift. Many disassembles for transport.
Wall Mountable Lifts are permanetly attached to a wall and have long range
lifting. There are many different possibilities for mounting. Angled lifting
positions from outside bathroom to inside. Or attach to the bathroom wall
and lift in and out of bathtub. Splash Proof too. Built-in Power Pac Systems.
Use the same slings and stretchers as the floor lifts.
Sincerely yours,
Elaine Latham
