Leg- and Armlift

In preparation for surgery and in the treatment of fractures of the arms or legs, it is often necessary to lift, hold or lower the extremity, work that is often performed by surgical personnel and which can be physically demanding. As a more gentle and ergonomic alternative, we can offer an electric leg and arm lift to lift and place the patient's arm or leg in the correct position. Can be used on patients in both back, side and prone positions or in a sitting position.

Prevent injuries when lifing patients’ arms and legs in the operating theatre

The preparation of a surgical site on either the arms or legs of a patient often requires lifting, holding and lowering procedures. This job is normally undertaken by theatre staff, and can be physically demanding.

This unique electrical lift uses a hand control to lift the patient’s leg or arm into the correct position. The limb can also be lowered using the hand control to ensure a smooth and safe process.

The lift operates by battery, and can easily be recharged overnight.
The leg lift can accommodate a patient in a supine, prone or sitting position.
Bilateral lifting of 2 legs is possible with the standard equipped ”2 leg lifting arm”.
A height extender (32cm) is included to help lifting arms when the patient is in a sitting position (eg.: Beach Chair).
