What Equipment is Used in Enhanced Patient Handling?
Several types of equipment are commonly used in enhanced patient handling:
Mechanical Lifts: Devices such as ceiling and floor lifts help in safely transferring patients. Transfer Boards: These are used to slide patients from one surface to another. Gait Belts: Belts that provide support and stability during patient ambulation. Slide Sheets: These reduce friction, making it easier to reposition patients in bed. Repositioning Slings: Used to move patients who are unable to assist themselves.
