PITTSBURGH, April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- "As a patient care coordinator, I thought there could be a better way to lift, transfer, and move a patient," said an inventor, from Winchester, Calif., "so I invented the IN HOME MANUAL HOIST. My design offers added assistance, and it could be used in place of patient lifts or hydraulic lifts that are bulky and expensive."

The invention provides an improved patient transfer device. In doing so, it offers an efficient and effective means to transfer patients from a hospital bed to a wheelchair or portable toilet. As a result, it reduces the risk of injuries to both the patient and the medical professional or caregiver. The invention features an ergonomic, compact, and portable design that is easy to use so it is ideal for homes as well as healthcare facilities.

The original design was submitted to the San Diego sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.
