Move, transfer, and reposition patients safely with professional patient-handling equipment from Vena Cava. Our range supports NHS trusts, care homes, ambulance services, and domiciliary care providers with slide sheets, transfer boards, hoists, and lifting aids that protect both patients and carers during manual handling tasks.
Low-friction slide sheets reduce the effort required to reposition patients in bed, turn them for pressure-area care, or transfer them between surfaces. Available in tubular and flat formats, our slide sheets are colour-coded by size for quick selection. Single-patient-use options suit infection-control protocols in acute wards, while reusable laundered sheets serve long-term care settings cost-effectively.
Rigid transfer boards bridge the gap between bed, trolley, and operating table, allowing lateral transfers with minimal manual lifting. Patient turntables and pivot discs help patients rotate from seated to standing, reducing carer strain during car transfers, toilet visits, and wheelchair manoeuvres. Non-slip surfaces and weight ratings up to 200 kg ensure safe, confident handling.
Mobile hoists and ceiling-track systems provide mechanical lifting for patients who cannot bear weight, while a range of sling sizes and styles — universal, toileting, standing, and amputee — ensures the correct support for each patient's needs. Hoist accessories including spreader bars, clip adaptors, and storage caddies keep lifting equipment organised, inspected, and ready for immediate use on every ward or care-home floor.
Vena Cava is honored to stand side by side with the NHS in its commitment to providing world-class healthcare. Together, we can build a healthier future for communities across the UK.
