Features and Benefits:

Self Transfers

The HM50L or LR series track system and a body support with thigh supports offer a person with limited range and sufficient muscle tone the opportunity to transfer and move about their environment independently.

Universal Sizing

The self adjusting curved cups are large enough for heavier adults and small enough to fit most children.  This is a great investment for a growing child or in the case of multiple users for one system.

Swimming therapy The Wheelchair-to-Water or Ceiling lifts with the body support takes the user from the wheelchair directly to the water.  The body support can be easily removed or left on for ambulation or other pool exercises.
Hippotherapy The unique posture provided by the body support makes loading on to and off of horses natural.  With nothing under the rider's buttocks, this quiet system makes loading and unloading easy on the caregiver and the horse.

Safe and Hygienic

Constructed of light, but sturdy stainless steel.  The weight capacity is 400 lbs.  All components are water-tight and rust resistant which makes it ideal for bathing and swimming.  It is easily disinfected between uses or easily dried when wet.  This makes it more practical and hygienic than a sling. 

Comfort and Ease of Use

The body support lifts quick and easily from the front by placing the curved poly cups around the user and the thigh supports under the legs of the user.  The automatic closure or the body support (hands) is directly proportionate to the users size and weight.  The support under the chest and under the thighs provides for a very secure and comfortable feeling.

Compatible With all SUREHANDS Lifts

The body support is designed to fit all SUREHANDS designed lifting systems.

Utility Band

An optional utility strap is available for assistance in dressing, bathroom, or recreational related needs.  The strap is securely fastened around the user to create a securing pressure.  Then lift the persons legs out of thigh supports.  When you have finished your activity place the user's legs back in the thigh supports and release the utility band.
