Electric Patient Lift uses a battery-powered motorized hoist to raise and lower patients during transfers, eliminating the manual pumping effort required by hydraulic models. It is particularly valuable in high-frequency transfer situations or when caregivers have physical limitations that make manual pumping difficult or unsafe.

The electric lift is operated via a hand pendant and is used with compatible slings. OxyCare delivers and sets up electric patient lifts with full caregiver instruction at delivery. Rental is available.
