In intensive care units, it often takes as many as 5 to 8 people to undertake a
horizontal lift or to transfer a critically ill patient correctly.
But when using the Guldmann Horizontal Lifter, it only takes two staff members to carry out the same procedure safely.
More room to move
Intensive care units and other similar medical facilities are often crowded with both staff and equipment,
forcing care staff to work in awkward positions.
Using the Guldmann horizontal lifter means the number of staff needed for lifting procedures can be greatly reduced,
which gives other staff more room and better conditions in which to work.
The carefully considered design of this horizontal lifter means it is easy to move around,
and when not in use it only takes up a minimum of space.
Less stress for everybody
The benefits of no manual lifting and more room to move around combine to ensure less stress for both care staff and patients.
This in turn helps ensure better controlled, safer procedures and fewer back injuries as a result of unsafe patient handling.
At the same time, patient comfort is improved and there is less risk of accidents or injuries.
The transport and storage trolley for this horizontal lifter also does away with manual handling when bringing the lifter
to where it is needed, and back again.
The benefits of using Guldmann horizontal lifters (8) include:
- Less manpower needed for lifting
- Staff are freed up for other tasks
- Savings on floor space
- More room to move and work more efficiently
- Less strain on staff and fewer work injuries
- Fewer injuries to patients
- Greater patient comfort
