Patient Handling Equipment

Patient handling equipment refers to tools and devices designed to assist healthcare professionals in moving and caring for patients safely and comfortably. This includes items like hoists, slings, and lifts, which help transfer individuals with limited mobility from beds to chairs or other locations. Proper use of this equipment reduces the risk of injury for both patients and caregivers, ensuring a safer healthcare environment. Ultimately, these tools enhance patient dignity, comfort, and independence during their care.
