Description
The Handicare Independent Lifter is a transfer aid that attaches to a Handicare ceiling lift with a QRS hook. It comes in small, item 341600, and large, item 341620, and it replaces a sling for some transfers.
What it does
- With a Handicare ceiling lift, it removes the need for a sling and gives the caregiver a simple frame to apply.
- It is for a person with moderate to strong upper body function, who operates the lift controls.
- The maker names swimming pools, toilets and showers among the places it is used.
- A clinician should decide whether it suits the person and the transfer.
How it holds the person
- The frame is stainless steel, with padding on the leg supports and adjustable leg straps.
- A three-position spring changes the gripping strength for different body types.
- The leg supports come in small, medium and large; medium is item 341610, a separate frame.
- Width is 20 in and adjustable, height is 30 in and length is 23 in.
Limits and what is not included
- The weight limit is 440 lb (200 kg).
- It fits a two-point or four-point suspension bar on the ceiling lift.
- The ceiling lift, track and installation are not included. The lifter needs a ceiling lift in the room.
- Spare single-leg kits are 341650 small, 341660 medium and 341670 large; they are different items.
Where it fits in the range
See ceiling lifts for the motor and track, and patient lifts for floor lifts. The price is set after a free home assessment, because the lifter depends on the ceiling lift in the room. Visits are booked through service. Funding may help: see who may help pay.
