Transfer Hoist or Patient Lifter is used for patient's with partial to full immobility due to a certain incident or disease. It uses a sling to carry the patient from the bed to a wheelchair or vice versa. This is a great way for health care providers to remove the old-fashioned way of carrying patients and causing sever back injury over time, although, all health care providers should be trained by the facility prior to the use of the machine as it possess a great risk to both the patient and the care provider, when not used properly.
