Oxford Classic Mobile Hoists: Safer Care For Residents And Carers

Summary. Oxford Healthcare is one of the leading providers of patient lifting and handling equipment to the care continuum. Oxford classic mobile hoists are dependable solutions when caring for someone, who does not have the necessary level of mobility and independence to transfer from one place to another.

 

Some of the key tasks a hoist and sling combination can support with include:

  • Moving from a bed to a chair
  • Getting in and out of the bath
  • Toilet/commode transfers
  • Repositioning a patient

Oxford mobile hoists cater for a range of moving and handling situations, supporting users to move over short distances, safely and effectively. They also support care-givers, enabling them to care for and assist patients or family members in a safe and risk averse manner.

Oxford Classic hoists are widely used in hospital wards, care and nursing homes as well as in individual’s own homes. Patient lifts may be integrated as an essential part of someone’s care plan, truly transforming lives for the better, when used correctly.

Mobile hoists have the inherent benefit of being more transportable when compared to an overhead ceiling hoist, lending themselves to room-to-room transfers and more effective sharing between patients. Oxford Classic lifts can also be broken down into two parts by removing the mast from the base. This offers the option of onward transportation in vehicles, as well as more convenient storage.

A choice of three different spreader bar widths can help cater for a wider range of patient shapes and sizes. Additionally, a precision digital scale option is perfect for ongoing patient monitoring.

Oxford Classic lifts come with:

The Smart Monitor control box as standard (Electric variants); a diagnostic tool that records critical usage data including:
