Patient positioning aids

I work in a large, well known facility. We have a hoyer lift, but we need to implement somethings to help reposition the pt in a bed or chair. It would also be helpful to have lift assistance for bed to bsc transfers as well. We have had a lot of back injuries lately. Does anyone have any recommendations for products tha may be helpful? Thanks

    Ceiling lifts would be the ideal solution. I know in the past they've been considered more of a luxury, but there's been more of a shift to considering them a basic component of an acute care patient room lately. Positioning in the bed can be done using a flat sling, transfers to the BSC is done using a seated sling.

    Sally tubes are amazing. 1 patient use, very inexpensive, like $5 a piece. Works kind of like a trash bag under the draw sheet and let you move people without injuring yourself. We keep them in every room of the hospital. I hope my picture comes through!
