Enabling single-handed care with the all new Maxi Move® 5

​Caregivers need to work efficiently without compromising patient safety or dignity, making advanced patient handling technology more important than ever. The correct equipment allows one caregiver to perform controlled transfers prioritising safety, as well as reduce strain and improve workflows.¹ ​​

Maxi Move® 5 is designed to meet these needs, enabling single-handed care while prioritising safety and efficiency.

The challenges of single-handed care

Single-handed care allows one caregiver to prioritise safety while repositioning and transferring patients without assistance. While essential in understaffed healthcare settings, it comes with significant challenges.​

Many facilities struggle with staff shortages, making it difficult to have two caregivers available for every transfer. As a result, patient handling can be a significant cause of pain and injury for individual nurses and caregivers.²,³ ​
​
In fact, 59% of musculoskeletal injuries among caregivers result from repositioning or transferring patients, as well as from preventing falls.⁴ ​

Additionally, time constraints often force caregivers to rush through transfers, compromising not just their own well-being but patient safety too. Without proper support, patients may experience discomfort and distress, as hurried or unstable movements increase the risk of pain and injury.​

To enhance safety and efficiency in single-handed care, healthcare facilities must invest in ergonomic, advanced patient handling solutions that reduce caregiver strain and enhance patient comfort.⁵

​

A smarter way to support single-handed care​​

With its easy-to-use design and caregiver-friendly technology, the new Maxi Move® 5 floor lifter makes single-caregiver use more efficient while also enhancing safety. This is all-made possible with features such as:

• Arjo Motion Assist™ technology, designed to enhance manoeuvring in tight care spaces and reduce the need for additional personnel.​
• A Powered Dynamic Positioning System enabling caregivers to perform more precise patient transfers with minimal effort.​
• An ergonomic design makes it easier for single caregivers to prioritise safety during patient transfers.

Better for caregivers, better for patients​

Maxi Move® 5 is more than just a caregiver tool – it’s a game-changer in patient care, prioritising efficiency, safety and versatility during every transfer. ​​

By providing smooth and well-controlled movement, this advanced lifting system significantly reduces patient stress and discomfort, with the gentle, stable lifting mechanism helping to minimise anxiety and create a more reassuring experience for patients. ​​

Unlike traditional manual handling, which can feel rushed or awkward, Maxi Move® 5 facilitates dignified repositioning that respects the patient’s well-being. Additionally, its mobility support features encourage patient participation where possible, promoting greater independence and an improved sense of confidence.

​

Why the shift to single-handed care?​​

As healthcare systems face growing demands, many facilities are adopting single-handed care solutions to enhance efficiency without compromising the quality of care. ​​

One of the key drivers behind this shift is the need to address caregiver shortages⁶ while maintaining high patient standards. By enabling a single caregiver to manage transfers safely and effectively, Maxi Move® 5 helps reduce reliance on additional staff, freeing up resources for other critical care tasks. ​​

Furthermore, the risk of caregiver injury – one of the leading causes of workplace absences in healthcare – is significantly reduced, fostering a safer work environment. These efficiencies translate into cost savings, allowing facilities to optimise their budgets without sacrificing patient or staff well-being.
