The purpose of the patient lifter is to allow a person to be lifted and transferred safely with as little physical effort as possible. Before attempting to lift an ill or injured patient, it is wise to practice with an able-bodied person. Take turns lifting as well as being lifted to learn how the patient will feel in the lifter. When lifting a patient who has never used a lifter before, explain each step in advance, as you go through the lifting procedure.
