    Look how Sutter Delta is safely and comfortably moving patients…

    Total_lift

     

    In 2007 Sutter Delta determined the need to invest in some pretty high tech equipment to help safely and comfortably transfer our patients while also keeping our employees safe. The old practice of depending on employees to transfer and lift patients can be uncomfortable for the patients and cause an increased risk of injury to healthcare workers. This is the second post of a 5 week series in which we will be featuring a new piece of equipment each week and what their uses are. Questions or comments? Contact Lisa Munoz; Safety and Emergency Management Coordinator at munozl3@sutterhealth.org.

     

    This week’s Feature: Maxi Move Total Lift: 

     

     
     

    Total Lift:

     

    ♦ Used for totally dependent non-weight bearing patients

    ♦ Can be used for bed, chair, commode, tub or stretcher transfers,

       and repositioning in bed

    ♦ The maximum weight capacity for the Total Lift is 500 pounds
