CEILING LIFTER SOLUTIONS

2 MAXI SKY 2

Studies show that just over 75% of caregivers prefer ceiling lifts over other solutions for patient transfers and handling.

In some facilities, a significant 70% reduction of injury and compensation claims have been recorded following the introduction of a ceiling lift.2

Our Maxi Sky 2 ceiling lift series delivers a complete and intuitive patient handling solution suitable for both long-term and acute care environments, assisting you in safeguarding the wellbeing of caregivers, patients and residents.

• Promote a patient handling culture of best practice

• Save time in the transfer of dependent residents without compromising safety1

• Support an efficient ceiling lift cleaning and disinfection process

In today’s busy care environments, ceiling lift solutions now set the benchmark for excellence in patient handling efficiency.

Take your patient handling capabilities to a new level

The daily prevalence of Healthcare Acquired Infections (HAI) in acute care is 6%, impacting over 3.2 million patients every year in Europe alone.2

In the US, the estimated annual cost of HAI is as high as $47 billion.3

Helping you minimise the risks and associated burdens of cross infection in ceiling lift transfers, Maxi Sky 2 Infection Control enables you to take your patient handling capabilities to a new level.

• Non-porous components

• Easy cleaning and disinfection

Infection control is crucial in all care settings. Safe patient handling equipment, which is often in frequent operation with a rotation of different patients, is no exception.
