MANUAL HYDRAULIC PATIENT LIFTS

SCROLL DOWN & CLICK THE IMAGES BELOW TO LEARN MORE
Manual hydraulic patient lifts are devices that help caregivers to lift and transfer patients who have limited mobility or require assistance. Manual hydraulic patient lifts use hydraulic fluid as the force to move the hoist mechanism. A simple crank is attached to pump the fluid to provide lifting force. Manual hydraulic patient lifts require less physical energy to raise the patient than manual lifts without hydraulic assistance. The person cranking the lever uses minimal effort since the hard work is accomplished by the hydraulic fluid. Manual hydraulic patient lifts consist of a base, a mast, a boom, and a sling. The base is the part that supports the weight of the lift and the patient, and it usually has wheels or casters for easy movement. The mast is the part that connects the base and the boom, and it usually has a hydraulic pump and a handle for operating the lift. The boom is the part that extends from the mast and holds the sling, and it usually has a hook or a clip for attaching the sling. The sling is the part that supports and secures the patient during lifting or transferring, and it usually has loops or straps for connecting to the boom. Manual hydraulic patient lifts can be used for various purposes, such as transferring patients from bed to wheelchair, from wheelchair to toilet, from floor to bed, or from one surface to another. Manual hydraulic patient lifts can also be used for repositioning patients on a surface, such as turning them from side to side or raising them up or down. Manual hydraulic patient lifts can offer many benefits for caregivers and patients. They can:
  1. Improve safety and comfort: Manual hydraulic patient lifts 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 lifting belts or gait belts.
  2. Enhance quality and efficiency: Manual hydraulic patient lifts 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: Manual hydraulic patient lifts 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.
