Patient Lifts

MediEquip stocks, provides, and services a variety of patient lifts.

Traditional floor patient lifts are distinguished by battery or hydraulic operations, and whether the patient partially stands or is cradled in a head to knee length sling. Insurances rent hydraulic lifts only. Should a caregiver have difficulty pumping the lift, remote controlled battery operations are available. These devices are purchased and not available via rental. 

The difficulty with patient hoyer lifts and sit to stand lifts are that the bases of both units rest on 5’ casters. Sometimes it is difficult to push these apparatuses when on plush carpet or down long hallways. The lifts take up considerable space when not in use, much like a piece of furniture, and cannot be operated without the use of a caregiver. 

Ceiling lifts on the other hand can take up considerably less space, and are much easier to operate by caregivers. Ceiling lifts can free stand, or be attached to the ceiling. Tracks can be custom made allowing for ease throughout the home, and some attachments allow for an end user to independently operate.  Ceiling lifts are not generally covered by insurance.
