Introducing Maxi Move® 5 – a new era in patient handling
Healthcare professionals face increasing pressure when it comes to patient handling, with the demand for more efficient processes and workflows only growing.¹
In hospitals, rehabilitation centres, or long-term care facilities, caregivers need solutions that reduce strain, prevent injuries, and streamline workflows.
With that in mind, Arjo introduces Maxi Move® 5 – the next generation of patient floor lifts designed to optimise care flows, safety and versatility.
Why does the correct floor lift matter?
Manual patient transfers remain a big challenge in healthcare today, with studies showing that caregiver injuries, particularly musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), cause 32% of workplace injuries and ill health.²,³
Inefficient transfer solutions also contribute to patient discomfort, longer repositioning times, and increased strain on healthcare resources.⁴ Maxi Move® 5 is designed to remove these barriers and create a smoother experience for both caregivers and patients.
Built to let the care flow
Maxi Move® 5 builds upon Arjo’s long legacy of care space innovation, incorporating new technologies and design enhancements that transform how caregivers interact with not only their equipment, but patients too. Key benefits include:
- Enhanced manoeuvrability with Arjo Motion Assist™ – touch sensor technology that reacts to push, pull and pivoting motions for smoother navigation in tight care spaces.
- Easy, single-caregiver operation enabling one caregiver to prioritise safety while performing patient transfers, reducing reliance on additional staff.
- Powered Dynamic Positioning System providing precise patient positioning for added comfort and support.
- Ergonomic design helping to reduce the physical load for caregivers and reduce the risk of injury.
Who is Maxi Move® 5 for?
Efficiency, safety, and versatility define Maxi Move® 5’s impact in care environments – streamlining workflows, minimising risks, and adapting to the diverse needs of both caregivers and patients. These benefits extend across all levels of care:
- Caregivers and nurses experience less strain, greater efficiency, and increased confidence in patient transfers.
- Healthcare facilities and administrators benefit from higher staff retention, fewer workplace injury claims, and optimized care workflows.
- Patients experience transfers that prioritise safety and comfort and enhance their overall well-being.
