A full-body patient lift (commonly called a Hoyer lift) is designed to safely transfer individuals who have little to no weight-bearing ability. Using a supportive sling and powered lifting system, the lift gently raises and moves the patient between locations such as a bed, wheelchair, recliner, or bath.
Benefits for the patient include:
*Maximum safety during transfers – Provides full-body support, reducing the risk of falls or injury.
*Comfortable, smooth lifting – Electric controls allow slow and controlled movement to minimize discomfort.
*Access to more daily activities – Makes it easier for patients to move between rooms, chairs, and bathing areas.
*Reduced physical strain on caregivers – Eliminates the need for manual lifting, protecting both the patient and caregiver.
Full-body patient lifts are ideal for patients with very limited mobility, paralysis, advanced weakness, or those recovering from surgery who require complete assistance with transfers.
