Kathy has MND (ALS), her partner Paul is her primary caregiver. They were at the stage of requiring a hoist, but a mobile hoist wasn't going to work in their space and ceiling hoist renovations were an expensive and lengthy process. Also, requiring the extra caregivers coming in to help with hoisting complicated their independent lifestyle. Kathy found the Kera sit2sit online, and luckily it was manufactured just down the road. HT Systems have been working with Kathy to ensure the Kera sit2sit continues to work for her as her condition progresses, and to make sure that Paul can still look after her by himself in their home.
The Kera sit2sit hoist, is an innovative new hoist, that is an alternative to a sit-to-stand or sling hoist. Find out more at: htsystems.co.n...
With the Kera it is possible for a single caregiver to quickly and safely transfer and perform hygiene processes for people that have no standing strength, grip strength or balance.
The Kera sit2sit hoist’s unique design uses an easy to fit Backstrap and Chestpad to securely hold a non weight-bearing person. It has been proven to work for tetraplegics (quadriplegics) and amputees.
No more multiple transfers to remove clothing and perform hygiene processes, no more uncomfortable and unsafe hoist transfers, eliminate the temptation of manual transfers … all giving time, energy and dignity back to people living with a disability.
