Why the Aerial
The Aerial features an actuator that assists with lifting the patient from a seated or lying position when using a loop-style sling. The sling bar can also lower to the floor to lift patients who have fallen. A low-base model is available to accommodate beds and stretchers that have lower clearances.
Need to get around a commode, toilet, or chair? No problem – the Aerial has an expandable base. Simply push and hold the close or open button on the control pendant for closer access to the patient.
Lastly, training and education resources can be quickly accessed by scanning the QR code printed on the Aerial. Tip sheets, videos, and user manuals can all be viewed on a smartphone using any free QR code reader app.
Important Notice
The patient to be transferred must be assessed by a qualified professional before attempting to lift and transfer.
Before using the sling, familiarize yourself with the proper method of sling attachment and lift operation. You can find this information in the operator’s manual provided with your lift system.
Inspect the sling carefully before each use. If fraying, seam separation, or other damage is visible or suspected, dispose of it immediately and replace it with a new sling.
Finally, never exceed the weight limitations of your lift or sling, as serious harm to the patient or caregiver may result.
