The Phoenix Patient Lift allows for a significant reduction of exertion and physical effort for medical staff by mechanizing patient repositioning and transfers. With proper use of the Phoenix, the risk of injury for both staff and patients can be reduced. The Phoenix can accommodate the assisted movement of patients in ICUs, Rehabilitation Programs, and Nursing Homes, to reduce time spent in bed, allow for exercise, and improve recovery outcomes. The Phoenix presents an innovative method of mobilizing patients more quickly and safely than may otherwise be possible.
