Guldmann ceiling hoists are an integral part of a complete range of well-designed equipment, making the lifting and transferring process of people safe and comfortable for both user and carer.
Worldwide, you see the same pattern. Musculoskeletal injuries among staff members in the healthcare sector are frequent and severe compared with workers in other sectors and industries. The main reason for this is the physical working conditions. Manual patient handling techniques create high loads on the healthcare worker.
Guldmann offers more than 30 years of experience for selecting the right product, as well as training programmes for individuals and staff.
Utilising overhead hoist technology will give better opportunities for employees to utilise their time more efficiently. For example 4-7 staff members can be reduced by 50% when prone positioning.
This complicated process can thereby be handled effectively with fewer staff members and at the same time reduce the injury risk for patients and caregivers.
The investment towards overhead hoist technology does result in reducing expenses associated with managing caregivers musculoskeletal injuries, time away from work due to injury, and the need to replace injured staff.
Guldmann is among the innovative companies exhibiting at this year's Building Better Healthcare Awards.
