Patient LiftsOne of the most popular options is a manual or hydraulic lift. As the name suggests, this device uses hydraulics as its power source. Fortunately, this means your patient lift will always be operational. This is a great pick for those who need a versatile lift that can handle a wide range of transfers. If the caregiver who will be operating the device has limited physical strength, the manual operation may prove difficult.

Electric LiftsYou can also consider an electric patient lift, which is powered by electricity or rechargeable batteries. This might be the more expensive choice, but it’s ideal for those who need a device with higher weight capacity for heavy patients or those who need maximum support. An electric model provides easier, smoother movements than its manual counterparts. If you have a caregiver who will be assisting with multiple patient transfers throughout the day, an electric patient lift is a good option.

SlingsDon’t forget to think about what type of sling you’ll use with your device. This might seem like an easy choice, but it does require some thought. Most importantly, you need to pick a sling that is compatible with your patient lift. The size limitations of your sling will also need to be able to accommodate the weight of the patient. The market is full of options, so it won’t be difficult to find what you need. Some examples included padded slings, bathing slings, toileting slings, and full-body slings.
