As healthcare needs continue to evolve, so does the technology supporting healthcare professionals, support workers, and residents.
One area where innovation is making a significant impact is in patient lifting systems. Among the leaders in this field is Winncare's Luna Hoist Range, including the new Luna X5 Overhead Ceiling Hoist. Designed with functionality in mind, the Luna X5 sets a new standard for patient handling technology in healthcare facilities and home care environments.
Let’s explore how the Luna X5 is shaping the future of patient lifting, meeting the ever-growing demand for efficiency, safety, and flexibility in care environments.
A new era of patient lifting technology
The Luna X5 is not just a ceiling hoist; it’s a leap forward in design and functionality. Built to cater to a wide range of healthcare needs, from hospitals and care homes to home care environments, the Luna X5 brings a unique blend of versatility, elegance, and eco-conscious design.
Its all-in-one concept—combining fixed, portable, and multiple lifting capacities—makes it adaptable to any care environment.
The hoist can handle weights of up to 275kg and is available in three configurations (150kg, 200kg, and 275kg capacities). This means it can be used in various patient handling scenarios, from those requiring minimal assistance to more complex lifting needs.
#1: Seamless integration into care environments
One of the standout features of the Luna X5 is its ability to integrate into any care environment. Its compact and discreet design ensures it doesn’t dominate the space, making it ideal for busy care homes and private residences where aesthetics and space are important considerations.
The hoist's unparalleled lifting height (up to 2500mm) makes it suitable for different patient transfer scenarios, from transferring patients to beds and chairs to assisting with bathroom transfers, all while maintaining the highest standards of safety and comfort for the user.
#2: Simplifying daily use for healthcare professionals
Efficiency is key in healthcare settings. The Luna X5 has been engineered to make daily operations as smooth and straightforward as possible.
With its intuitive operation, healthcare professionals can easily lift and transfer patients with minimal effort. The user-friendly hand control provides complete control during transfers, including an emergency stop button that ensures patient and support worker safety.
The addition of the exclusive smart maintenance system helps ensure the hoist remains in top working condition with minimal downtime for maintenance, simplifying the process for support workers and technical teams.
#3: Built to last: optimised total cost of ownership
When choosing equipment for patient care, the total cost of ownership (TCO) is crucial. The Luna X5 is built for durability and minimal maintenance, significantly reducing ownership's long-term costs.
With a lifespan of up to 20 years or 30,000 lifts, the Luna X5 is designed to last, offering excellent return on investment for care facilities and home care providers.
The versatility of the Luna X5 with accessories & adaptability
The Luna X5’s versatility is further enhanced by a wide range of compatible accessories that cater to various patient needs. These include:
- Spreader bars: Available in both 2-point and 3-point configurations, the spreader bars come in different sizes (small, medium, and large) to accommodate different lifting requirements.
- Universal weighing scale: With 100g accuracy, the weighing scale allows for precise weight measurements during patient transfers, which is especially useful in medical settings for monitoring patient health.
- In-track charging: Various kits depend on track configuration, making charging more convenient and integrated into the hoist’s operation.
- Telescopic extension arm: Lightweight and highly manoeuvrable, the extension arm allows for greater reach and flexibility during patient lifts.
- Slings: A full range of slings ensures that patients of all needs, from those with limited mobility to bariatric patients, can be safely and comfortably transferred.
With such a comprehensive range of accessories, the Luna X5 ensures support workers have all the tools necessary to provide the best care possible, regardless of patient needs.
