Handi-Move Body Support®
The Handi-Move Body Support lifts just like a mother lifts her child: two hands supporting you
The body is supported at only a few points, yet there is a profound sense of comfort and security. The Body Support is easy to apply and offers the user maximum freedom of movement.
Comfortable: the Body Support offers comfort for both the user and the caregiver. Two soft torso supports cradle the upper body like two hands, without pressure under the user’s arms. The ergonomic thigh supports cradle the lower body. In addition to providing maximum access to the body for care, the advantage of the Body Support is that it can be applied more quickly and efficiently than slings.
Independent use
If you have a Handi-Move ceiling lift and have sufficient use of your hands, the Handi-Move Body Support is an excellent tool for moving independently to the bed, toilet, bath, and other areas...
Assisted use
The Body Support can be quickly and easily applied by a caregiver or attendant.
Self-transferring from wheelchair to bed
You can use a ceiling motor with a SureHands® body support to move between your bed and your wheelchair. You decide when you get up or go to sleep!
Ideal for the toilet
A SureHands® Body Support is helpful for toileting independently because the fully unencumbered bottom and back region allows for easy access to clothing.
Into the bath with the Handi-Move Body Support
The Handi-Move Body Support is made from stainless steel and is rust resistant. It does not have any components that absorb moisture so it can be wiped dry and is easy to clean and disinfect. This makes it perfect for use in bathing and swimming.
Into the pool and swimming independently or with assistance using the Body Support and ceiling lift
The Body Support allows the user to get in and out of the water directly from their wheelchair to swim. In addition to the mobile lift, Handi-Move also offers a ceiling motor as a lifting system for the pool. The ceiling motor moves along a rail. It is ideal for intensive use and/or in pools where installing a floor base is not possible. You are securely suspended in the Body Support, but slings or the pool lift chair are also options.
For pool applications, the Body Support (model 1035) is electrolytically polished (= anti-corrosion).
Horseback riding with the Handi-Move body support and the ceiling motor
Horseback riding is a very popular therapy for many people. Getting on and off the horse is now very easy with the Handi-Move body support and celing track system.
Safe system for any body type
The Body Support is a hinged system that automatically wraps around the upper body due to the pressure of the user’s own weight on the thigh supports. It adapts to any body type. This allows both a child and an adult to be lifted safely using the same Body Support. It is easy to switch from a Body Support to a spreader bar with slings and vice versa.
3 sizes: M - S - XS (the smaller the size, the higher the lift).
Walking exercises
For suitable users, the Body Support can provide support during walking rehabilitation.
Hygienic
The Body Support is made of stainless steel and plastic. It is maintenance-free. Furthermore, none of its components absorb water.
Thigh supports: the right thigh supports for every mobility need when using a Body Support
Thigh supports are an essential accessory for lifting someone using a Body Support. They help distribute pressure and body weight evenly. They ensure that the body is perfectly supported in a seated position during the lift and that the back remains straight. The thigh supports are easy to attach in all lifting situations. They are available in various models and sizes, and with either a smooth or non-slip coating. They are made of low-maintenance, rust-resistant material.
Patented thigh support fix
The patented thigh support fix supports a sustainted good and comfortable position in the body support.
Under the pressure of the thighs of the user the self- locking feature holds the leg supports in its current position, once the tension is gone, it can easily be moved to another position.
The lenght of the leg support bands are adjustable to your size and the markings allow you to easily verify that both leg support bands have the same set lenght.
Choose the appropriate thigh supports: standard, wide, muscular dystrophy
Depending on the user’s limitations, it is important to choose the appropriate thigh supports for the Body Support: standard thigh supports (suitable for most users), wide thigh supports (for reduced sitting function), or muscular dystrophy thigh supports (for severely reduced muscle tone). Fabric covers for the thigh supports are available as an option.
