The integration of innovative technologies in recent years has improved the quality of care. For instance the widespread availability of electric mobile hoists: mechanical devices designed to lift and transfer patients with limited mobility, facilitating safe and efficient care.
Mobile hoists are designed with a robust frame, typically comprised of a metal or aluminium structure. They are equipped with a lifting mechanism and are used in conjunction with a sling.
Key features:
~ they are mounted on wheels, allowing for easy movin and positioning.
~ the lifting mechanism is usually electric, reducing the strain on carers and ensuring a controlled transfer.
~ some are hinged which allows them to be folded for easier transport or storage.
~ hoists may have either clip or loop fixings for attachment of the sling.
Mobile Hoists can be moved easily to where they're needed
Enhanced Mobility: The primary purpose of mobile hoists is to provide a safe and effective means of transferring someone from one location to another. Whether it's moving a patient from a bed to a wheelchair, a chair to a bath, or any other scenario, mobile hoists facilitate the transfer with minimal physical effort and maximum safety for both patient and carer.
Fall Prevention: A critical advantages of using mobile hoists is the reduction in falls-risk during patient transfers. The secure harnessing systems and controlled lifting mechanisms ensure that patients are lifted and moved in a stable and controlled manner, minimising the chances of accidents.
Lifting from Floor: It may be difficult for some people to lift themselves from the floor following a fall. If you choose the right mobile hoist, these will provide a safe way of lifting them. Learn more
Adaptability: Mobile hoists are versatile devices that can be adjusted to accommodate patients of varying sizes and needs. The adjustable features of these hoists include, the height and width of the lifting mechanism..
Folding hoists are easier to transport and store
Training: Proper training is essential for healthcare professionals to use mobile hoists effectively. Understanding the device's features, safety protocols, and correct operating procedures is crucial for ensuring the well-being of both the patient and the caregiver. Training
LOLER Testing and Maintenance: Regular maintenance and inspection of mobile hoists are necessary to ensure their continued functionality and safety. This includes checking the lifting mechanisms, wheels, and overall structural integrity. LOLER
Patient Comfort and Slings: While mobile hoists are designed for functionality and safety, considerations for patient comfort should not be overlooked.
