Patient transfer for Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) can become time consuming and cumbersome when it is difficult to lift patients and move them from one spot to the other. This includes activities such as bathing, dressing, transporting patients to another room for breakfast, screening rooms (in hospitals), or even physiotherapy. Because of this, healthcare staff (nurses, orderlies, etc.) ends up spending a lot of time organizing patient transfer logistics, and less time is spent taking care of the patient. Handicare's AP-Series Portable Ceiling Lift improves overall patient care by making it easier to move patients from their bed to their wheelchair (and to another room), with its safe and effective technology.
The AP-Series Portable Ceiling Lift features first class safety add-ons such as the emergency lowering and shut-off switch, which helps to adjust the position of the system according to how low (or high) the patient bed is. Its ActiveSense Tilt Detection also helps the healthcare professional to know how to adjust the lift based on how the patient is moving.This is particularly useful if patients are in pain or fidget a lot, and can help ensure a safe and comfortable transfer. Because this ceiling lift is a light and portable mobility aid, you can use it between different patients in different rooms. You might also be concerned about safety and infection risks, but don't be - the surface of the AP-Series Portable Ceiling Lift anti-microbial strap is made of a durable material that inhibits the growth of microorganisms, reducing the risks of contamination between patients.
And whilst all the features of the Handicare AP-Series Portable Ceiling Lift duly keep patients safe, this mobility aid also helps to keep nurses, orderlies and ancillary staff safe too! In lifting heavy patients for instance, healthcare workers run the risk of injuring themselves, which in turn can contribute to increasing healthcare expenses, decrease productivity and reduce workplace safety. But with the AP-Series Portable Ceiling Lift, the weight and pressure is lifted off the healthcare worker as the ceiling lift (operated by the healthcare worker) automatically carries the patient.
