We welcome you into the family
of Electropedic Patient Lifts.
A Patient Lift (or Hoyer Patient Lift) is usually a battery powered device that is used to help transfer physically disabled patients. (They don't make a crank any more; and hydraullic lifts are almost out of date).
There are three basic types of patient lifts: mobile lifts, overhead lifts and sit-to-stand lifts. (Today, many overhead lifts, are often installed when new hospitals, nursing homes, etc. are built; and sometimes allow patients themselves to help propel themselves.)
Together with a patient lift, some type of sling, normally made of textile fabric such as cotton or polyester, is used. Slings are available in many different models and variants for optimal function in different lifting situations e.g., lifting to/from bed, to/from the toilet or for turning the patient in bed.
The main rationale for using patient lifts is to prevent occupational injuries that can be caused by repeated manual lifting. Normally, much consideration is also given to the patient’s comfort and wellbeing. Today, the use of patient lifts is considered a more dignified means of transferring a patient than manual lifting and transfer. We have to address the primary needs, uses and goals of the Patient Lift.
Many leading manufacturers of patient lifts are Molift Patient Lift
Since 1964, Electropedic has never lost sight of the fact that our success is built upon customer satisfaction. Before you buy a Patient Lift many criteria and factors have to be addresses. Please feel free to call our Patient Lift Specialists, Elaine Latham at (800)477-0248.
We always guarantee the best price on the patient lift that will be best and most safe for you.
First, we have to address these several factors to help you select the right patient lift:
How much does the Patient Weigh? We are bariatric heavy duty patient lift specialists!
How Tall is the Patient?
How Old is the Patient?
What type of Disability does the Patient have?
Is this to help you get In and out of bed? What type of bed are you in (we need at least 5" of clear space underneath bed - if you don't have the space, we have one that will work with you - Apex Bariana)
Is this to help you Stand Only
Is this to help you go to the Toilet.
Is the Patient Lift to help you get into the wheelchair?
(Patient Lifts do not work in the bath tub - we have something that works in the bath tub)
Is this to help you get into the bathroom?
Do you need a portable unit that you can travel with (or a unit that is very easy to put away, and does not take a lot of room)
When you get a sling, do you need head support; . . are you using this for toilet, for shower, . . .there are many different types, styles and sizes of slings
Will the patient be in the sling for a long period of time.
If you are in the market for a Pool or Spa Lift, is the Pool or Spa above ground or flush with the ground?
There are many sit to stand lifts. Does the Patient do find once they are standing?
What type of carpet do you have; what type of floor do you have. We have the best recommendations here.
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.
There are 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 are usually just as practical at home or for 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.
