The Locomotor Escort has been developed to combat problems associated with conventional hoists. A padded knee support and footplate have been incorporated to minimise swinging, and protect the client's legs during a hoisting transfer. The manual emergency lowering mechanism allows for complete confidence during a manoeuvre and the removable hoist leg protectors save wear and tear as well as protecting furniture, doors and skirting boards when used in the home.
• Emergency manual lowering

The ultra range of slide sheets allows three basic patient handling tasks without the need to lift and without the risk of sheering to the patient’s skin.
• Turning a patient: for X-Ray, surgical procedures, recovery, pressure care, change of dressing or cleaning.
• Sitting a patient up in bed: for feeding or relief of chest pain etc.
• Moving a patient on or off a bed, trolley or examination couch without painful sheering to the buttocks. The multi-directional glide and ultra low friction quality of the slide sheets makes sliding transfers extremely easy to perform. The sheets can also be used with sliding boards to ease a sliding transfer from chair to wheelchair or car seat or to aid lateral transfers from bed to trolley using a bridging board.
