Patient lift

Well, a patient lift is a special machine that helps people get up and move around when they can't do it on their own. Imagine a big crane that lifts heavy things like cars or boats. A patient lift is kind of like that, but instead of lifting cars, it lifts people.

The patient sits or lies on a special sling that's attached to the lift. The sling is like a big, comfy hammock that supports their back, arms, and legs. Then, the machine uses a motor to lift the sling and the patient off the ground. It can move them to a wheelchair, bed, or even a bathtub.

It's important for people who can't move on their own because they might have an injury, illness or disability that makes it difficult for them to do so. Using a patient lift makes it easier and safer for them to move around without the help of others.

So in summary, a patient lift is sort of like a big crane that picks up people and moves them around when they need help.
