Medicare-approved and hospital-tested, Lavin Lift Straps make it possible for one caregiver to do the work of two.
In the past, changing, cleaning and providing wound care for patients was a difficult task. One that was time consuming and labor intensive. One that put caregivers at risk for repetitive injuries. And one that was often uncomfortable, undignified and unpleasant for the patients themselves.
Lavin Lift Straps™, a patented product and process has changed all that.
Using our patented, adjustable straps and any standard T-bar lifter, one caregiver can safely and gently suspend a patient’s entire lower body. With no straining or effort. No turning, rolling or lifting. And virtually no stress or discomfort for the patient.

Result? When Lavin Lift Straps are used as a standard tool in skilled care facilities, caregivers are more productive. Staff deployment is more strategic. Overall operations are more cost-effective. And patient care is improved. Better for Caregivers, learn more Lavin Lift Straps protect the health and safety of aides who work with incontinent and bedridden patients. The task of changing and cleaning patients—or treating wounds and pressure ulcers—becomes simpler and easier. Morale improves while, simultaneously, the risk of repetitive stress injury is vastly reduced.
Better for Hospitals and Other Skilled-Care Facilities, Because Lavin Lift Straps work with 99% of all portable and built-in patient lifters, no major capital outlay is required. Instead, facilities see an improved return-on-investment for existing equipment. Employees work safely and efficiently. Hospital administrators are able to deploy staff strategically and cost-effectively. Perhaps most important, patient care—and satisfaction—improve.
Better for Patients, learn more For patients, Lavin Lift Straps offer a kinder, gentler, more dignified alternative to the traditional method of rolling, lifting and turning. Because the process is so much easier and faster, patients are changed more often, increasing both their hygiene and comfort. And by reducing the time and stress of basic care procedures, Lavin Lift Straps also reduce the likelihood of skin breakdown and pressure ulcers.

Lavin Lift Straps have a tested current tensile strength of 400 pounds per strap, providing a high level of comfort and security. The simple, straightforward process makes it easier for caregivers to work with obese, combative or uncooperative patients. |
