The number one workers' compensation claim in a healthcare setting is from moving patients. Operating rooms are often demanding, congested spaces that require both ergonomically-challenging patient movements and fatiguing static holds. In a bariatric setting, movements can take as many as 4-6 staff members. AirLIFT safe patient handling systems provide a much safer, easier method for moving and positioning patients. With the AirLIFT, difficult positioning movements become far less labor-intensive, and can be performed with fewer staff members. The AirLIFT system is delivered as an integrated component within the AirFRAME modular ceiling system, and as such is extremely cost competitive while compressing the installation schedule.
