Completed transfers in less than 2 minutes.

sit2sit™ technology, hugs the upper body into the chest pad using an 'easy to fit' back strap.

The unique transfer position allows access to clothing which can reduce the number of transfers needed, saving time and energy, and lowering risk of injury to the user and caregiver.

Only one caregiver required for Users with no mobility

One caregiver can transfer users with no standing strength, sitting balance or holding on.

Users are held firmly by the upper body making sit2sit™ hoists ideal for Tetraplegics, Double Leg amputee, Stroke/MS/Parkinsons.

sit2sit™ hoists are an ideal replacement for a sit-to-stand hoist or sling hoists.

Access to clothing eliminates multiple transfers and enables hygiene processes

This makes the changing of incontinence products a much quicker and more simple process.

The improved access to clothing eliminates manual handling issues on the part of the caregiver and takes the fear and risk from the routine.

Product Reviews for Kera Travel Hoist

	"We're now in the possession of a Kera Travel hoist and our life is going to change. It means we can get in the car, we can go out, out for coffees, out to see friends, go away for a few nights, which we haven't been able to do for a long time. So it is a game changer for us.” Margaret - Jim's wife and caregiver
Barbara & John Keeping my wife at home, without external caregivers John and his wife Barbara were worried that when Barbara’s muscular dystrophy worsened that she would need to go into a care home and they would be split up. “I used to stay awake at night wondering how am I going to cope - and what’s in store for me.” That all changed when they discovered Kera sit2sit hoists. “It’s a marvelous innovation for me and Barbara. It’s saved us from all those anxious moments. Now she can stay in the home.” The couple manage at home without any outside help. As Barbara says, “Caregivers come in and do half an hour but you’ve still got to carry on for the other 23 hours.” “We’re coping and it’s because of your Kera,” says John. “It’s really taken a weight off my shoulders.” Now, with the new Kera Lightening, John and Barbara are planning a trip to Auckland to visit their son and check in on the progress of his new home build. “The Kera Travel hoist is going to make it much easier to travel,” says John.
	Noeline and Gary Taking the stress out of transfers for independence at home After a spinal embolism left Noeline a paraplegic, the hospital offered her and her husband Gary a sling hoist. Gary didn't want to rely on other caregivers visiting to operate the hoist as this limited their independence and he searched for a better option. Kera Home hoist allows him to perform all Noeline’s transfers quickly and easily by himself anytime they please. Noeline has a stoma bag and SPC, so the Chestpad was modified to relieve the pressure on the area and improved the comfort of transfers. As Noeline is shorter, she selected the Short Chestpad and used Foam Risers to bring to footplate level up to support her feet. “We do multiple transfers in the course of the day and I can't imagine using anything else really. It's a … one person item, it doesn't need extra people to transfer someone safely from say the bed to a commode”
Lawrence & Maria Keeping my husband at home “The Kera has had a profound effect on our family. The Kera has enabled my 75 year old Mother to look after my Dad at home. Keeping Dad at home was their wish, after 57 years of marriage they didn't want to be separated and as a family we wanted to do whatever we could to enable them to stay together. Having the Kera has meant that Mum can independently move Dad from his hospital bed to his wheelchair, recliner, essentially anywhere he can sit, it's been a great asset as Mum doesn't need to wait on someone to be there or be reliant on anyone. It has allowed the family to balance our lives as well as we were all rushing over there to help move Dad around and we just couldn't be there all time it just wasn't possible. When Dad was discharged from hospital they told us that he would be a 3 assist, which meant that at least 3 people were needed to move him but with the Kera Home hoist only one person is needed." Rita (Maria and Lawrence’s Daughter)
	Kathy and Paul Managing transfers at home without moving to a sling hoist Kathy was hesitant to move to using a hoist as her MND (ALS) progressed. She found the Kera online and recognised its ability to delay her from progressing to a full hoist. This would allow Paul to continue to care for her at home by himself, while taking the strain of manual lifting away. The Kera has allowed them to manage transfers at home without having to use a sling hoist. As Kathy’s condition has progressed, they have been working with HT Systems to add accessories and modifications to keep the Kera working for them, to keep living together at home for as long as possible.
Andrew & Cherry Quick and easy transfers at home and on holiday Prior to having the Kera Home hoist, Cherry was manually lifting Andrew for every transfer. Andrew wanted to take the strain of manual lifts away from Cherry to keep her safe: “…I wanted something that could help her lift me without hurting her back, something she could do by herself, without having other people help, so the [Kera Home] hoist was good for that. Very happy with it.“ says Andrew
	Steve & Fiona Independence from external caregivers and makes it possible to continue to go on holiday together. The Kera allows quick and simple transfers to any seat in the house, as well as Steve’s customised electric trike, which allows him to get out for a ride around the neighborhood with Fiona or by himself. “…I’ve got no use of my legs and very, very limited use of my arms. With the Kera you don’t even need use of your arms or legs, and it has been really good because the time involved in using the Kera just to move is fantastic compared to the other option “ says Steve
Jean & Erik Safe, single caregiver transfers in the home Jean has MS and has no standing strength and Erik, her husband, cares for her fulltime. When we met them, Erik was physically lifting Jean between bed and chair, multiple times a day. Current equipment options didn’t work for them; Jean was unsafe on a standing hoist and a sling hoist too slow and didn’t fit their house. “We were at a loss before you came along. I can manage here at home by myself… and Jean doesn’t have to go into a rest home.“ says Erik (Jean’s husband and caregiver)
	Deborah Single caregiver transfers saving time on toileting. Deborah previously used a sling hoist for toileting but the multi-step job was very time consuming and demanding on her caregivers. A sling hoist also requires two caregivers meaning Deborah’s parents always had to be available Changing to the Kera Home hoist means that Deborah can be easily transferred by only one caregiver and toileting is an easy, single step process. “...now she no longer stands it’s the ideal progression...its a one person job.“ says Cornelia (Deborah’s caregiver)
