Patient lifts are medical devices used to assist caregivers in transitioning patients with limited mobility.
Portable patient lifts make life easier for patients and caregivers by assisting in smooth, gentle transfers from beds, baths, mobility devices, and even transport vehicles.
With their lightweight yet sturdy frames and convenient wheeled-bases, portable patient lifts offer reliable transfer solutions that can be easily transported between rooms or in the back of a vehicle.
101 Mobility [Wilmington] offers a complete patient lift program, customized to suit your specific needs. Not only do our expert Mobility Specialists deliver and assemble our portable patient lifts, but we take the time to train caregivers and patients, making sure that they completely understand and are comfortable using the equipment before we leave.
Portable Patient Lift Features
Portable & Light
Portable patient lifts have relatively lightweight frames supported by wheeled bases. They can be easily maneuvered across a room, within a house, or even outdoors. Many portable patient lift models can be collapsed for easy transport and storage when not in use.
Maneuverable
Unlike ceiling-mounted patient lifts, which are confined to a track installed in the ceiling, portable patient lifts have the freedom to transport patients nearly anywhere. With the patient secured in one of our slings, the caregiver can easily maneuver the lift nearly anywhere inside or outside a home.
Electric, Hydraulic, or Manual Options
Portable patient lifts may be electronically operated, manually operated, or hydraulically operated. Electronic patient lifts require the caregiver to simply push a button on a handheld remote, leaving one hand free to guide the sling and further assist the patient. Manual lifts require much more effort from the caregiver in order to complete transfers, while hydraulic lifts combine the two styles, requiring the caregiver to operate a pump. Each model has its own pros and cons, including differences in caregiver requirements, weight capacity, and price. 101 Mobility [Wilmington]’s expert Mobility Consultants can assist you in selecting the best style of patient lift for your needs.
Automobile Transfers
Portable patient lifts provide excellent alternatives to turning automotive seats by enabling safe automobile transfers without any modifications. The lifts transfer patients in a natural, comfortable, and safe manner between a sling and a car’s seat, enabling enhanced independence outside of the home.
