The Kera sit2sit hoist, is an innovative new hoist, that is an alternative to a sit-to-stand or sling hoist.

With the Kera it is possible for a single caregiver to quickly and safely transfer and perform hygiene processes for people that have no standing strength, grip strength or balance.

The Kera sit2sit hoist’s unique design uses an easy to fit Backstrap and Chestpad to securely hold a non weight-bearing person. It has been proven to work for tetraplegics (quadriplegics) and amputees.

No more multiple transfers to remove clothing and perform hygiene processes, no more uncomfortable and unsafe hoist transfers, eliminate the temptation of manual transfers … all giving time, energy and dignity back to people living with a disability.
