Wheelchair Cushions
Before we explore the different options, it’s important to learn about safe patient handling. This might seem obvious, but the caregiver needs to be properly trained on how to use the patient lift and sling. These devices are designed to protect the safety of the patient as well as the caregiver. Whether it’s a healthcare professional in a hospital or a home caregiver that will be operating the device, they must first receive proper training. The patient should also learn about safe operation to help avoid bruises, falls, skin tears, and other painful injuries.
