Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/04/2016 -- A patient lifting sling refers to an assistive device that assists patients in nursing homes and hospitals to be transferred between a chair and a bed or a similar resting place with the help of hydraulics. Medical lifting slings are used widely for patients whose mobility is limited. Apart from transferring, the sling lifts help in reducing the chance of orthopedic injury caused while lifting patients. Patient care mostly requires lifting or providing the means to perform movements to do day to day activities including toileting, walking, and bathing. Such tasks comprise handling of patients who are in a fragile condition. As a result, lifting patients becomes more risky and complicated. In addition, patients and residents may also have psychological, medical, or other related conditions, which can complicate manual lifting processes.
