Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, Bendigo Health has been able to purchase a HoverJack air patient lift system, a piece of equipment that is already making a real difference for both patients and staff.
The HoverJack is designed to safely lift patients who have fallen, without the need for manual lifting. Using a series of air-inflated chambers, it gently raises a patient from the floor to the height of a bed or stretcher. This process not only makes the experience more comfortable and dignified for patients, but also helps protect our caregivers by reducing the risk of lifting-related injuries.
Its Teflon-coated base allows the HoverJack to glide smoothly across surfaces, and when paired with the HoverMatt air transfer mattress, it provides an even safer and easier way to move patients between beds and stretchers.
This important addition to our hospital would not have been possible without the support of our donors. By funding the HoverJack, you’ve helped create a safer, more efficient environment for our patients and staff – and we are truly grateful.
