Key Features of Patient Lifts

Pathway

We can determine the pathways to determine the proper transfer device – whether it a overhead ceiling lift or more maneuverable floor lift.

weight capacity

Specifying the proper weight capacity of the sling and transfer device can ensure that the device is not too expensive or too heavy for your specific needs.

Manual versus powered

Manual transfer aids work well when someone is semi-mobile or can stand under their own power. Powered lifting devices are safer and more comfortable for the patient.

Frequently Asked Questions about Patient Lifts

Ceiling lifts are a permanent fixture in the home; they use a track system mounted to the ceiling. The benefit is that it takes up no floor space and it is always there when needed. Portable overhead lifts can be transferred and set up very easily. If you need a solution that you can take anywhere then a portable lift may be best. A floor lift gives you the versatility of transferring someone in nearly limitless locations. Because floor lifts run on wheels, floors need to be flat with limited thresholds or obstacles.

Fabric: The sling fabric choice is important. For instance if there is a possibility of the sling getting wet from incontinence or bathing, then a mesh fabric is ideal. If you have sensitive skin and require more comfort, then a padded sling may be better.

Shape: Livewell’s hammock slings are full-body slings that support the entire body including the head. Our Universal slings are the most popular due to their ability to support a person whether seated, reclined or supine. LiveWell also offers hygiene slings with an open bottom for toileting and providing an easier way of removing clothing from a patient.

Size: The fit of the sling is critical to the safety and comfort of the patient. By understanding your weight and height, we can fit you in the proper sized sling.

Our Sit-to-Stand devices are designed for those that have trouble standing. The device supports the feet, back, and lower legs to help you get to that standing position. Then you can choose to walk under your own power or be transported with the device to another sitting position. This device improves the safety for caregivers and family members that are often relied upon to help a person stand.

LiveWell’s portable patient lift weighs under 11 lbs and can be easily transported. Combine this with our free-standing track system and you can set up an overhead lift system in a matter of minutes. The free-standing track system components all weigh under 17 lbs and the entire system is only 47 lbs. This is great for going out of town and setting up in a hotel or a family members home. Plus this portable system can support up to 300 lbs.
