Standing lifts are specifically designed to secure patients during transfers from a seated position to a standing position, enabling quicker, easier, and safer patient lifting and transfer for both the patient and the caregiver.
People who are not able to stand on their own can use a stand up lift to prevent secondary complications that often result from prolonged use of a wheelchair.
