May 2022—Lifts & Transfer Devices

Pool/Spa Lifts

AQUATIC ACCESS

For more than 35 years, Aquatic Access has designed and manufactured nonelectric lifts for in-ground and above-ground pools, tubs and spas. Powered only by water pressure from a hose to a faucet, standard lifts have a weight capacity of 300 pounds to 400 pounds, depending on the model. Some units are self-operable and some require an assistant to turn the seat. Headrests, footrests and seat belts are offered as accessories. Custom designs are available to meet your customers’ needs. No batteries, charging, replacement batteries or complex maintenance schedules required. Visit aquaticaccess.com.

Glideboard

BUCKINGHAM HEALTHCARE

The Buckingham Glideboard transfer board is lightweight, simple to use and has a gliding seat that limits the risk of injury to both the patient and carer. The design reduces the effort required to transfer from wheelchair to chair, car or bed by more than 30% for the patient and even more for the caregiver. The shape enables the board to be used in multiple directions and the gliding seat reduces both skin sheer and friction. Visit buckinghamhealthcare.com.

It can be applied or removed easily while the patient is seated or in a reclined position. The sling is easier to slip on and off a patient than an ordinary full-body patient sling. It is constructed of high quality, fully padded fabric that forms a soft yet supportive surface. It provides full neck and head support and can be used with any two-, four- or six-point patient lift spreader bars. The four reinforced hookup points work with any manual or electric floor-style patient lifts. Visit patientaid.com.
