Overview

| The Product

The Bestcare BestStand SA228 Affordable Compact Electric Stand Assist (Sit-to-Stand) Patient Lift is an affordable sit-to-stand patient lift. It is a compact and easily maneuvered product to lift and transport anyone 500lbs or under. It has a low base height of 4.9" which is ideal for sliding under most furniture or chair needed. Using a foot pedal, the base can easily open up to allow wheelchair or toilet entrance.

 

| Using the Product

Caregivers will have an easy time assisting their patient with minimal labor work. It can only lift a patient from a seated position and does not require strength used by the patient because it is electronically operated. 

 

| Affordability

Dansons Medical believes that everyone, especially those struggling with illness, injury, or aging, deserve affordability. We aim to do this through a couple of ways:

  • We provide free shipping on every product we have so that the price you see is the price you pay
  • We often give special discounts, deals, and rewards through our newsletter. Anyone can sign up for this by entering their email at the bottom of the website.
  • We offer a low-price match guarantee. If you can find a lower price than us, contact us with a link and if allowed by the manufacturer, we will match it. 
  • We understand affordability means customer service done right. We aim to be as communicative as possible and incur as little problems as possible.

            Our Patients and Staff Love it!

            Manual transfers were becoming physically exhausting for our staff, not to mention unsafe. This lift is so helpful, safe and easy to use. Our Patients that are wheelchair bound tell us when they are in the stand up position, the relief from the pressure of sitting all day feels so good, they can't wait to use it. The staff have been thankful for this product and makes their job so much easier and safer for everyone. We are purchasing another lift to use at their day program when they are away from home!
