Ceiling patient lifts and free standing gantry systems are devices that help caregivers to lift and transfer patients who have limited mobility or require assistance. They are composed of a motorized lift that moves along an overhead track, and a sling that supports and secures the patient during lifting or transferring. Ceiling patient lifts and free standing gantry systems can be used for various purposes, such as moving patients from bed to wheelchair, from wheelchair to toilet, or from one surface to another. Ceiling patient lifts and free standing gantry systems can be classified into two groups. The two types are:
  1. Ceiling patient lift motors: These are devices that can be used on both  a fixed track that is installed on the ceiling or the wall or the more popular method of installing them on a free standing gantry. They can cover a large area and provide more flexibility and convenience for lifting or transferring patients.
  2. Free standing gantry systems: These are devices that use a portable track that is supported by a freestanding frame. They are temporary and do not require any installation or modification of the structure. They can be easily set up, dismantled, moved, and stored. They can cover a small to medium area and provide more mobility and versatility for lifting or transferring patients.
Ceiling patient lifts and free standing gantry systems can offer many benefits for caregivers and patients. They can:
  1. Improve safety and comfort: Ceiling patient lifts and free standing gantry systems can prevent injuries and musculoskeletal disorders for both the caregivers and the patients by reducing the physical strain and stress involved in lifting or transferring. They can also provide a more comfortable and secure way of lifting or transferring than using manual methods such as gait belts or transfer boards.
  2. Enhance quality and efficiency: Ceiling patient lifts and free standing gantry systems can improve the quality and efficiency of patient care by allowing caregivers to perform lifting or transferring tasks more quickly and easily. They can also reduce the need for multiple caregivers or additional equipment for lifting or transferring.
  3. Increase independence and dignity: Ceiling patient lifts and free standing gantry systems can enable caregivers to lift or transfer patients with minimal or no assistance from others, which can increase their independence and confidence. They can also allow patients to maintain their privacy and dignity by performing their daily activities without relying on others for help.
