Lexa
hoists
From lying down to sitting up…at the touch of a button. The Lexa is a truly multi-talented hoist, catering for virtually every need and is used by healthcare professionals throughout Europe and North America. Whether moving from floor to bed to wheelchair to bath and everything in between the patented motorised patient positioner offers secure, sway free and comfortable transfer between sitting and supine positions in one smooth movement.
To provide greater flexibility where space is restricted or for manoeuvring around large pieces of furniture, electric wheelchairs etc the width of the Lexa base can be adjusted either manually or electronically.
Forelli
shower trolley
The Forelli shower trolley enables just one carer to wash their client all over without any lifting or straining and the associated back injuries, as the patented automated tilt mechanism, operated by foot controls on either side of the trolley, gently raises the patient on to their side. It is ideal not just for washing but also for wound care, changing of dressings, etc.
Easy to steer and with motorised height adjustment controls, the Forelli can be brought up or down to the ideal working level for the caregiver while motorised drop sides facilitate easy transfer between shower trolley and bed.
Raisa
standing aid
The Raisa is a standing aid designed for those with weakened leg musculature who are not able to stand safely on their own. Ideally suited for use in both the domestic and institutional environment, the powered lift relieves the carer of the stress and other problems associated with manual lifting.
At the touch of a button, motorised knee pads can be adjusted in seconds to give effective support at exactly the right height. As well as being an invaluable aid to those everyday tasks of toileting and washing, the Raisa can be used for gait training purposes – the footplate is easy to remove. A choice of slings provide both gentle and reassuring support.
Diana
general purpose hoists
The Diana range has been in use for many years, in nursing homes and the domestic environment. Offering a safe and comfortable transfer, the Diana is fitted with an emergency on/off button, auxiliary lowering device, double castors (rear lockable) and has a base that can be easily be adjusted to manoeuvre around wheelchairs, commodes etc.
This hoist can be used with a wide range of slings which are available in a variety of sizes and materials. It has a lifting capacity of 160kg, a choice of spreader bar and various other options.
A comprehensive two year guarantee applies to all products and it won’t come as a surprise to the thousands of healthcare professionals who use our products that many of our hoists that were made in the 1980s are still in daily use.
