The SMOVE is an active hoist (standing hoist), providing the patient with comfortable support to get them from a seated to an upright position. Encouraging their own capabilities and the standing function are important aspects. The standing position facilitates care that is needed, for example, when the patient has to go to the toilet or whose incontinence material requires changing. The SMOVE has electrically adjustable legs that can be spread apart and a height-adjustable lifting arm. The touch&move driving support makes working with the hoist even more effortless, easier and less stressful. This is a smart solution for tackling physical stresses and strains, reducing the risk of physical complaints.
The active hoist is suitable for patients who are unable to stand up independently but who nevertheless have some trunk balance. They should also be able to support themselves on their own legs, have a good shoulder function and be able to follow instructions from the caregiver. The SMOVE can be used together with an active sling, such as a back support sling or corset sling.
The SMOVE hoist has touch&move driving support as standard. This is a unique, intuitive electrically powered drive that makes working with a hoist easier and more pleasant. The push handle of a hoist with touch&move driving support has sensors that measure the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on it. A gentle push against the push handle is enough to set the additional wheel under the patient hoist in motion, either forwards, backwards or sideways. That may sound technical but using it is very intuitive. Read more about touch&move here.
New: the proper usage indication on the control panel enables you to check whether the hoist is being used correctly. And off you go - no problem!
The SMOVE has a lifting arm suitable for clip attachment as standard. A standing sling with clips can be fixed to the attachment points on the lifting arm. The lifting arm can be operated with the detachable hand control or using the control panel on the push handle.
When slings with loops are being used, the SMOVE can be fitted with a lifting arm for loop attachment. This lifting arm is fitted with hooks to which the loops of the sling can fastened. The adjustments that are possible are the same as for the lifting arm suitable for clip attachment.
