A manual patient lifting system is a non-powered, mobile device designed to assist caregivers in safely transferring incapacitated patients or individuals with mobility limitations. It reduces physical strain by providing mechanical advantage through components like springs or levers, enabling easier movement between short distances—such as between a bed and a chair or bathroom.
These systems are typically regulated as medical devices and may require compliance with safety and performance standards depending on the jurisdiction. They are often supplied as complete assemblies, including wheels, lifting mechanisms, and patient support slings, tailored for clinical use in hospitals, care facilities, or home settings.
