Lifting Bedridden People: How to Do It Easily and Safely

Caring for a bedridden loved one is an act of love, but it is often associated with immense physical strain. Improper lifting and moving carry a serious risk of injury—both for the caregiver (back pain, herniated discs) and for the patient (falls, bruises). Fortunately, modern assistive devices turn this difficult task into an easy, safe, and routine activity.

1. Why Are Proper Technique and Equipment Crucial?

Manually lifting a person, even with help, puts tremendous strain on the lower back and spine. Using specialized equipment is not a luxury, but an investment in health and safety. It eliminates the risk of injury, provides comfort for the patient, and gives the caregiver peace of mind and the confidence to manage on their own at any time.

2. Patient Lifters and Chairs: A Revolution in Daily Care

Specialized lifters and chairs are the most effective solution for completely eliminating physical effort when transferring a patient—from bed to wheelchair, to the toilet, bathroom, or another chair.

Hydraulic Transfer Chair

NEW PRODUCT

An innovative solution that turns transferring into a safe and smooth procedure. The chair gently lifts the patient with a hydraulic system and allows for easy movement without any strain on the caregiver. It is easy to assemble and folds compactly.

3. Specialized Hospital Beds: The Foundation of Proper Care

Often, the first step in helping a patient sit up begins with the bed itself. Functional beds allow for easy lifting of the torso to a seated position, which facilitates feeding, breathing, and preparation for transfer.

ERGO Mechanical Hospital Bed

Comfort for the patient and ease for the caregiver. With its four adjustable sections operated by cranks, positioning the torso and legs becomes intuitive and effortless. All accessories (side rails, trapeze bar) are included in the price.

Getting in and out of the bathtub is one of the riskiest activities. A bath lift is an elegant solution that restores independence and eliminates the risk of slipping.

BELLAVITA Bath Lift

Compact, stable, and easy to use, the Bellavita runs on a battery and is operated with a waterproof remote control. It allows the user to easily lower themselves to the bottom of the tub and then raise themselves to the level of its edge, completely independently.
