Smart Lift Vest from Innovative Product Solutions

January 2014

EMS is backbreaking work, which is a problem providers are supposed to be taking care of patients, not becoming patients themselves.

There are a lot of products on the market that claim to help alleviate the strain on providers' backs when lifting patients—some work, others don't. But none is quite like the Smart Lift Vest.

What sets Smart Lift Vest apart from similar products on the market today is that it employs a horizontal lifting technique, rather than a vertical pulling motion. Enforcing proper weight distribution, strong ergonomic posture and overall good body mechanics, Smart Lift Vest reduces the risk of back strains in the lifter. It also helps prevent further injury to a lift assist patient, such as skin tears, bruising and joint dislocations, which would result from poor lifting techniques.

Smart Lift Vest System’s waist belt, fulcrum/knee belt and floor leads provide additional leverage. Its sturdy canvas back and stable front handles allow for optimal control. The straps and forearm supports keep patients secure and comfortable.

Constructed out of lightweight tarpaulin, Smart Lift Vest is simple to clean, easy to transport and store. Once cleaned with a sanitary wipe, it can immediately be used again. Tested by certified engineers to bear a weight of 750 lbs, the Smart Lift Vest can be used in myriad situations.

Working two-fold, Smart Lift Vest offers an affordable, safe solution for EMS workers and their patients. Boasting maximum control, fast set-up time and an incomparable design, Smart Lift Vest can help EMS assist fallen patients more efficiently and effectively.
