Technology Aids and Equipment – HLS Healthcare
Jul
If you work in healthcare or managed care for aged or disabled persons, it’s important to have access to technology and aids that can make your job easier. Among all of the various ways that advancements in technology can help aged care centers, hospitals, and other care providers, HLS Healthcare offers a broad selection of equipment that improves patient care, comfort, and facility efficiency.
When it’s time to enhance your facilities with up-to-date care equipment, keep in mind how the following product families might assist with the day-to-day operations of your organisation.
Ceiling Hoists
Patients that need to be relocated or repositioned with assistance can benefit greatly from the ceiling hoist solutions available from HLS Healthcare. Ceiling hoists can be custom-configured with a rail system that is specific to the living or caring area, making the overall system unique to your individual floor plan.
As part of a ceiling hoist, a selection of slings is also available. These slings are made to work with the ceiling hoist itself, making the entire solution seamless and easy to use. And, slings can be swapped out as needed in just seconds. What’s more, there are integrated scale options for ceiling hoists, making it easier to assess a patient’s weight without having them stand on a scale on the floor.
Smart Floors from Elsi
You have probably heard by now that there are smart floors available that can track patient locations in their living or treatment areas, as well as provide real-time alerts to carers when falls take place. This exciting new technology reduces the time it takes to respond to falls and improves overall patient care accordingly.

Another key feature about smart floors from Elsi is the easy integration of existing reporting and patient tracking systems. Ask us about how quickly and simply HLS Healthcare can pair your current method of carer alerting with the Elsi Smart Floor, resulting in a fully automated patient tracking and reporting system.
On-Bed Patient Positioning Systems
Many bedridden patients need help performing simple maneuvers like turning or repositioning themselves on their beds. To address this need, the Vendlet Patient Positioning System is installed as part of the bed itself, making operation easy, every time. Simply activate the Vendlet motor via the attached control device, and the patient is gently repositioned at a rate that is comfortable for them.
The Vendlet V5 from HLS Healthcare is the world’s finest, and first electronically mechanised solution for patient repositioning and turning. An unrivaled entry to the market, the Vendlet V5 is designed with a motorised turning sheet that can be used for all aspects of handling an individual in bed.
Simple enough for use with just one caregiver, the Vendlet V5 turning aid can be used to turn a patient into supine, lateral, and prone positions, reposition a patient after they have slipped, or apply slings, and change incontinence products.
As one of the most comfortable and reliable solutions on the market, the Vendlet V5 gives service users a more consistent and calm turning experience, while caregivers can benefit from a simple and effective procedure
