Passive Floor Hoists

Passive Floor Hoists From the busiest hospital to the smallest nursing home, caregivers are constantly faced with the risk of back pain and injury due to the manual transferring and handling of patients or residents. With the right mechanical aids in place, caregiver safety can be improved and musculoskeletal injury-related costs can be reduced. Passive hoists are designed to lift and transfer a person who is non-weight bearing from one surface to another for example bed to chair, chair to a wheelchair or from the floor. Selecting the most appropriate hoist and sling is important to ensure these are appropriate for the patient or resident and for the type of transfer being carried out.
