You piqued my curiosity.
A Hoyer lift is a mechanical patient transfer device that uses a fabric sling to safely lift and move individuals with limited mobility from one surface to another, such as a bed to a wheelchair or toilet. It eliminates the need for caregivers to perform manual lifting, which reduces the risk of injuries for both the patient and the caregiver. The lift operates using a hydraulic or electric-powered mechanism to gently raise and lower the patient, providing secure support during the transfer process
