Patient Lifters & Hoists in Zimbabwe
Available Patient Lifters & Hoists Models

Patient lifters and hoists, also known as patient transfer aids, are sophisticated mechanical or electro-mechanical devices designed to safely and efficiently assist in moving individuals with limited mobility. These essential pieces of medical equipment significantly reduce the physical strain on caregivers and mitigate the risk of injury to both the patient and healthcare professionals. They work by employing a lifting mechanism, typically powered by a battery or hydraulics, which operates a sling or harness attached to the patient. This mechanism then raises and lowers the patient, enabling smooth and controlled transfers between different surfaces such as beds, wheelchairs, chairs, and even commodes. Their primary function is to facilitate safe patient handling, particularly for individuals who are unable to bear their own weight or reposition themselves independently, ensuring dignity and comfort throughout the transfer process.

In Zimbabwe, the need for patient lifters and hoists spans a diverse range of healthcare settings, from large-scale tertiary institutions to smaller community facilities. These essential pieces of equipment are crucial for ensuring patient safety, dignity, and the well-being of caregivers across various departments.

Ensuring your patient lifter or hoist is installed correctly is paramount for patient safety and operational efficiency. We offer a comprehensive installation service designed to integrate seamlessly into your healthcare facility in Zimbabwe. Our process prioritizes minimal disruption to your daily operations while guaranteeing a secure and fully functional setup.

Site Preparation

Before our technicians arrive, a brief assessment of the intended installation area is recommended. This includes ensuring adequate floor space for the lifter's movement, checking for any potential obstructions (e.g., furniture, medical equipment), and confirming that the chosen location is accessible for both patients and caregivers. For ceiling-mounted hoists, a structural assessment of the ceiling to ensure it can bear the required load is crucial.

Delivery And Unpacking

Upon delivery to your facility in Zimbabwe, our team will carefully unpack the patient lifter or hoist and all accompanying accessories. We will conduct a visual inspection to confirm all components are present and undamaged. Any protective packaging will be removed, and the equipment will be moved to the designated installation site.

Installation Steps

• Assembly: Our trained technicians will meticulously assemble the patient lifter or hoist according to the manufacturer's specifications. This may involve attaching bases, booms, or securing ceiling tracks.

• Mounting (if applicable): For ceiling-mounted systems, precise alignment and secure mounting to the prepared ceiling structure will be performed.

• Power Connection: The unit will be connected to an appropriate power source, ensuring all electrical safety standards are met.

• Accessory Integration: Slings, harnesses, and any other required accessories will be attached and checked for proper fit and function.

Calibration And Testing

Once the physical installation is complete, our technicians will perform rigorous calibration and testing. This involves:

• Weight Load Testing: Simulating patient weight to verify the lifter's lifting capacity and stability.

• Operational Checks: Thoroughly testing all movement functions (lifting, lowering, traversing) to ensure smooth and precise operation.

• Safety Feature Verification: Confirming that all safety mechanisms, such as emergency stops and anti-entrapment features, are fully operational.

• User Familiarization: Providing a brief overview and demonstration for your staff on the basic operation and safety protocols of the newly installed equipment.

We are committed to providing a secure and reliable installation that meets the highest standards of safety and performance for your healthcare facility in Zimbabwe.

For electronically operated or more sophisticated models with advanced features like powered recline or bariatric support, the investment will naturally be higher.
