WHAT IS A HOYER LIFT 

Immobile people can use the Hoyer lift to safely move from one location to another with the aid of their caregivers. 

A Hoyer lift is a mobility device that assists seniors with mobility issues in getting out of bed or bathing without the aid of yet another person. The Hoyer lift, named after its innovator, is also regarded as a portable complete body lift or a patient lift. Depending on the user's requirements and developed infrastructure, these appliances may be free-standing, on wheels, or attached to a wall or ceiling.

 

 

Hoyer Lifts are available in a variety of Facet.

 

Two of them are given below:-

 

Power Hoyer Lifts

 This lift model has an electric motor that takes the place of the muscle strength that is normally required to raise a human. When the hydraulic pump is turned on, it increases and lowers the sling-bearing arm to the required location. These lifts are the most expensive, but they are also the best for caregivers who want to move their loved ones without hurting their backs.

     

Manual Hoyer Lift:

 These lifts, also regarded as hydraulic lifts, use a hydraulic pump system to assist in the movement of a person. The manual lift has a hydraulic level that lifts the sling as it is pulled, similar to the power lift. These are affordable choices for at-home caregivers, mostly costing just a few hundred dollars, which is a bargain compared to a power lift.
