With the changing global population structure, European and American countries are facing increasingly severe aging challenges. According to statistics, the proportion of people aged 65 and above in the European Union has exceeded 20%, and the baby boomer generation in the United States has also fully entered the elderly stage. This trend has led to a sharp increase in the number of chronic disease patients and disabled elderly people, and the demand for home care and professional institutional care continues to rise.
Older people in Europe and America generally have larger physique, with an average weight far exceeding that of their Asian peers. Nursing staff often face multiple challenges when assisting with transfers:
Occupational injury risk for nursing staff: Manually transporting patients weighing over 90 kilograms significantly increases the incidence of waist injuries among nursing staff;
Patient safety threat: Traditional manual handling can easily lead to secondary injuries such as skin abrasions and joint sprains in the elderly;
Dignity maintenance dilemma: forced to rely on others to complete basic movements, seriously eroding the self-esteem of elderly patients.
The professional heavy duty patient lift can safely transfer patients weighing up to 200 kilograms through a mechanical assistance system. The hydraulic patient hoist, with its stable hydraulic lifting system, has become the preferred equipment for nursing institutions. This type of heavy duty patient lift not only effectively prevents musculoskeletal injuries for nursing staff, but its designed sling support system also ensures that elderly patients maintain a comfortable position throughout the transfer process.
Home care scenario: Hydraulic patient hoist helps family caregivers independently complete daily transfers such as toileting and bathing for bedridden elderly people;
Rehabilitation center system: equipped with heavy duty patient lift to achieve seamless transition from bed rest to rehabilitation period;
Deployment of elderly care institutions: Building standardized nursing processes through hydraulic patient care, greatly improving care efficiency;
Temporary rental market: Short term use of heavy duty patient lifts to meet phased needs such as postoperative recovery.
It is worth noting that the new generation of heavy duty patient lifts has integrated humanized functions such as intelligent speed control. And the hydraulic patient hoist achieves silent operation through an anti overflow hydraulic system, which is particularly suitable for night care scenarios. Practice has proven that after deploying heavy duty patient lifts in elderly care institutions, the turnover rate of nursing staff has decreased and patient fall accidents have decreased.
