摘要:
Medical lifting devices and methods are disclosed. A medical lifting device includes a brace and at least one strap. The brace is adapted to be positioned against the back of a patient. The brace has a pair of opposed lateral edges. The at least one strap extends from each lateral edge of the brace. The at least one strap has a length sufficient to enable a user of the device to grasp each strap while the user is standing with the user's torso in an upright position and the patient is in a seated position. A method of lifting a patient with the brace includes positioning the brace against the back of a patient, grasping each strap while standing in an upright position and while the patient is in a seated position, and pulling on each strap to lift the patient to a standing position.
