Frequently asked questions
Does this spreader bar fit Hoyer Advance patient lifts?
Yes, the Joerns Hoyer Advance 6-Point Spreader Bar with Scale is specifically designed for use with the Hoyer Advance patient lift system.
This dedicated compatibility ensures proper function of the accessory, especially the integrated digital scale, allowing for quick and accurate patient weighing during the transfer process.
Is this spreader bar provided factory new?
Yes, the Joerns Hoyer Advance 6-Point Spreader Bar with Scale is supplied in Factory New condition.
This accessory is manufactured to the highest standards and is backed by a 1-year warranty.
How does the 6-point design aid positioning?
The 6-point configuration allows for precise patient positioning during transfers.
- Shoulder straps control back position, adjusting from upright to reclined.
- Leg straps control hip flexion, ranging from 90° to 45°.
This versatility helps achieve optimal comfort and clinical requirements, adapting to the patient’s build and height.
How can I customize the patient's seated angle?
The 6-point configuration uses colored webbing loops to give caregivers precise control over positioning: <ul><li>Back Angle: Adjusted via shoulder-level straps to move the patient from fully upright to reclined.</li><li>Hip Flexion: Managed through leg attachment straps, allowing for a range of 90° to 45°.</li></ul>
How do I adjust the patient's position during transfer?
You can customize the patient’s orientation by selecting different color-coded webbing loops on your sling. By adjusting these straps, you can:
- Achieve an upright position: Shorten the shoulder straps.
- Regulate hip flexion: Adjust the leg straps to control the recline, typically ranging from 90° to 45°.
Is the integrated digital scale accurate?
Yes, the Joerns Hoyer Advance 6-Point Spreader Bar includes a built-in digital scale engineered to provide quick and accurate patient weight measurements directly during the lifting and transfer process.
This integration streamlines care by ensuring reliable weighing results without requiring a separate procedure.
Key features of this accessory also include:
- Versatile Positioning: The 6-point attachment system interfaces with webbing loop slings, allowing caregivers to precisely control patient posture, including adjusting the degree of recline and hip flexion (from approximately 90ence degrees to 45ence degrees).
- Design: Features a lightweight aluminum frame and a compact structure for easy handling, storage, and transport.
- Compatibility: This unit is specifically designed for use with Hoyer Advance patient lifts.
What are the benefits of the integrated scale?
The integrated digital scale offers significant advantages by combining accurate patient weighing with the transfer process:
- Precise In-Transfer Weighing: It allows clinical staff to obtain quick and accurate patient weight readings while the patient is actively being lifted or transferred by the Hoyer Advance lift.
- Enhanced Efficiency: By combining weighing and transferring into a single step, it eliminates the need for separate procedures, streamlining workflows and saving valuable clinical time.
- Crucial Monitoring: Provides essential, real-time weight data necessary for comprehensive patient care management.
Is the aluminum frame durable yet light?
Yes, the spreader bar is constructed with a lightweight aluminum frame.
This design ensures:
- Easy handling during transfers.
- Compact storage.
- Convenient transport.
Despite its lightweight nature, the frame is robust, contributing to secure and controlled patient transfers.
Is the aluminum frame easy for caregivers to manage?
Yes, the spreader bar is constructed from lightweight aluminum, which is specifically engineered to reduce physical strain while maintaining high durability. This makes the unit significantly easier to handle, attach, and store between transfers compared to heavier material alternatives.
Will this lighten the load for the caregiver?
Yes, this spreader bar is engineered with a lightweight aluminum frame, which significantly reduces physical strain during setup and maneuverability. Its compact profile makes it much easier to handle, store, and transport compared to heavier, traditional spreader bars.
