Patient lifts are designed to lift and transfer patients from one place to another (e.g., from bed to other rooms, chair to stretcher). These medical devices provide several benefits, including reduced risk of injury to patients and caregivers when properly used. Patient lifts can be operated using a power source or manually. The powered models generally require the use of a rechargeable battery and the manual models are operated using hydraulics. While the design of patient lifts will vary based on the manufacturer, basic components may include a mast (the vertical bar that fits into the base), a boom (a bar that extends over the patient), a spreader bar (which hangs from the boom), a sling (attached to the spreader bar, designed to hold the patient), and a number of clips or latches (which secure the sling). However, improper use of patient lifts can pose significant public health risks. Patient falls from these devices have resulted in severe patient injuries including head traumas, fractures, and deaths. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has compiled a list of practices that should be followed by users of patient lift:
- Receive training and understand how to operate the lift
- Match the sling to the specific lift and the weight of the patient. A sling must be approved for use by the patient lift manufacturer. No sling is suitable for use with all patient lifts.
- Keep the base (legs) of the patient lift in the maximum open position and situate the lift to provide stability to the patient.
- Make sure that the weight limitations for the lift and sling are not exceeded
- Keep all clips, latches, and hanger bars securely fastened during operation
Market Dynamics
Increasing number of product launches is expected to drive the global patient lift pendant market. For instance, in June 2017, Biodex Medical Systems, Inc., a manufacturer and distributor of physical rehabilitation, radiological and nuclear imaging equipment company, announced the launch of the Mobility Assist, the first motorized lift assist and ambulation aid in one device. This assistive aid lifts patients safely from a seated to a standing position without staff support using the protection of a safety harness and motorized lift mechanics.
However, growth of the global patient lift pendant market is expected to be hampered over the forecast period, owing to high cost of patient lift pendants. For instance, according to a report published in June 2015, an average cost permanent overhead lifts cost an average of US$ 16 thousand per room to install and can be used only in that one room.
