Transferring immobile patients to and from beds, chairs, and other surfaces can be a difficult and sometimes hazardous task for carers and patients, both at home and in hospitals and health care facilities.
Available now from Aidacare , the Oxford Advance Hoist is a patient transfer hoist that has been designed to improve the safety and comfort of patients and carers during the transfer process, even with people weighing up to 155kg.
Making use of the latest in design and manufacturing technologies to achieve light weight and high strength, the Oxford Advance Hoist is a highly functional and stylish patient transfer system that features a unique ‘swan neck’ leg that allows the hoist to get even closer to the widest of obstacles without compromising stability.
The Oxford Advance patient transfer hoist's triangular folded design makes storage and transportation easy, opening up possibilities for use beyond the confines of the home. The Oxford Advance Hoist also does not require any tools or special attachments for set up, during use or when stowing.
“The Advance was designed in consultation with both patients and professionals, following several key principles of moving and handling to ensure simplicity, safety and comfort for all involved,” says Aidacare Marketing Manager, Sam Collins.
Key features of the Oxford Advance patient transfer hoist include:
- compact design
- easy to transport and store
- versatility
- maximum load of 155 kgs
- capacity to perform all functional transfers
- light weight (14.9kg base and 14kg mast and boom, separable)
- oversize handle to provide large surface area from which the carer can manoeuvre the lift before use
- push footpad designed to reduce the force needed to initiate movement when manoeuvring the list in a forward direction
- four point positioning cradle (optional accessory) to provide the carer with a choice of sling systems.
