A "patient lifter," often referred to as a "patient hoist" or "patient lift," is a device used in healthcare settings to assist in the safe transfer of patients with limited mobility. These devices help in lifting and moving patients from one place to another, such as from a bed to a wheelchair, or from a chair to a bathroom, while minimizing the risk of injury to both the patient and the caregiver. There are different types of patient lifters, including:

1. **Manual Patient Lifts**: These require physical effort to operate, often using a hydraulic system to lift the patient.

2. **Electric or Battery-Powered Patient Lifts**: These use a motor to lift the patient, operated by a control panel or remote control, which reduces the physical strain on caregivers.

3. **Ceiling Lifts**: These are installed on a track system mounted to the ceiling, allowing for easy movement across rooms without the need for floor space.

Patient lifters are essential in both home care and professional healthcare settings to ensure the safety and comfort of patients and caregivers.
