Understanding The Benefits Of Ceiling Track Hoist Systems
More and more caregivers are proving that the most efficient and cost effective way to transfer patients is with overhead Lifting Systems.
Here are just some of the benefits over traditional lifting methods:-
Time Savings
•Many transfers complete comfortably in Iess than 45 seconds including fitting and removal of sling
•Dedicated lifters eliminate the need to "go find the lifter"
•Portable lifters are so compact that convenient storage becomes a reality
Save on Resources
•Equivalent transfers are often able to be carried out with fewer caregivers, increasing productivity and enabling them to spend more time on other quality demands
•Ceiling hoists surprisingly inexpensive with returns on investments usually within 1 - 2 years
•Low maintenance costs due to simple modular design
•Training is included with each system, with additional training available to key staff in larger organisations
Reduced Risks and Injury Costs
•Study results show almost complete elimination of back injuries due to transfers – eliminating heavy movements or twisting
•Smooth free movements along rail even for larger patients
•Reduced trip hazards
•More likely to adjust patient in bed due to availability and ease of use
Other Benefits
•Improved staff morale, caregivers are less tired at end of shift
•More relaxed patients due to smoother, quieter transfers
•Flexible rail designs suit new and old building layouts
•Free up valuable floor space, difficult rooms and obstacles present little problem
•Improved aesthetics, no ugly equipment stored in hallways
•Patient can be transferred when needed due to equipment availability which equals better patient outcomes
•Enforcement is simple - lifts are always ready to use
