Health-care and age-care workers are the most commonly injured professionals. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics “healthcare workers sustain 4.5 times more overexertion injuries than any other type of worker.” Nurse’s aids, licensed practical nurses, registered nurses, health aides, radiology technicians and physical therapists are listed among six of the top 10 professions likely to get back injuries.
The health-care industry is aware of the significant issues these present and is actively seeking solutions. For example, The Advertiser reported that "The SA Ambulance Service’s annual report says manual handling is the most frequent and expensive cause of workplace injuries and more training has had to be implemented to protect its staff against further injuries while carrying bariatric patients”. Rising obesity levels and the lack of carers in the Western world have led to an increase in demand for devices that assist in the movement of patients.
The solution lies with the revolutionary patient lifter, the best on the market, the LeazyLift. Existing patient lifters need to be pushed and operated, often by two or more people! Most patient lifts have low weight capacities, and you need a different machine for each type of lifting.
LeazyLift is designed to provide a full-range of functionality for patient lifting needs. Its superior 550 lb (250 kg) lifting capacity allows it to be used for virtually any patient regardless of size or weight and in a variety of circumstances.
The LeazyLift is motor-driven which only requires one operator to move the patient around once fully-loaded, providing ease-of-use and significantly reducing the potential for back injuries or any damages to the client
