Sit-to-Stand Lift is a specialized patient lift designed to assist patients who retain some lower extremity strength and the ability to bear partial weight in standing up from a seated position. Rather than fully suspending the patient, the sit-to-stand lift supports the patient at the chest level while prompting them to use their legs, supporting functional participation in transfers.

Sit-to-stand lifts are used with specific standing slings and are appropriate for patients at an intermediate level of dependence. OxyCare supplies sit-to-stand lifts with compatible slings, and rental is available.
