Product Information

Hoists: A hoist is a mechanical device that is used to lift and transfer individuals from beds, chairs, or the floor. They come in various types, including hoist lifts, sit-to-stand lifts, and overhead lifts.

if raisers are recommended to raise the bed for hoist access, ensure (if the increased height would make existing transfers more difficult) that they are only fitted when the hoist is available for use; Adjustable height beds can be powered manually or electrically. Manually operated beds usually have a hydraulic mechanism that raises and lowers the bed. This movement may feel jerky as the bed rises. The control is often a foot pump at the side of the bed. It cannot be operated by the user. Care should be taken that there is no wall- mounted obstruction to prevent the bed from moving vertically or that nothing can get trapped underneath the bed when it is lowered. Many of the solid discs use ball bearings in the swivel mechanism, which may result in fast turning that can be difficult to control. However, this may be useful when a heavier person is moving, as their weight sometimes prohibits discs without ball bearings from turning on one another.

Hoists for elderly people

variable height beds used in the lowered position (N.B. there are beds with an extra low height as a feature);

An individual with impaired mobility from paralysis or limited upper body functions can use the SafetySure Transfer Pivot Disc unassisted in a very efficient way. If the patient cannot use his/her upper extremities a helper will be needed. For maximum support and safety for both the patient and the helper, we recommend that either a transfer belt or sling be used in conjunction with the SafetySure Transfer Pivot Disc. Important Note: It does NOT include a frail elderly person who is otherwise able-bodied or any person who is only temporarily disabled or incapacitated, such as with a broken limb.It is difficult to support someone on a turning disc. If support is needed ask for an occupational therapist or physiotherapist to assess the situation. One possible solution is a turning disc with a frame which the person can hold onto.

cylindrical plastic sleeves - the bed legs stand inside the sleeves. Different depth inserts can be put inside to alter the height of the bed; the amount of noise made by these units varies. Personal preference and whether other people nearby will be disturbed needs considering. Air bags tend to be noisier and hydraulic pistons quieter; three-section variable posture beds slightly raise the user’s knees, forming a knee break that may prevent him/her from sliding down the bed;To enable transfers from one seated position to another, a standing aid that swivels enables a patient who can weight bear to participate more actively in the transfer. Many adjustable height beds do not stop automatically if there is an object underneath and there is a risk of entrapment. If you have a disability or you are caring for someone with a disability, remember that you have the right to ask social services for a community care assessment. replacement raisers - existing bed legs or castors are removed and replaced by raisers.
