Introduction

Caring for a loved one at home often comes with challenges, especially when mobility is limited. Patient transfers—from bed to chair, wheelchair to bathroom, or even into a car—can be difficult and unsafe without the right equipment. That’s where Joerns Hoyer lifts come in.

As an authorized Joerns reseller, Vigour Med Store provides the full range of Hoyer lifts, slings, and accessories to support caregivers and patients. Whether you need a portable hoyer lift for travel, an electric hoyer lift for home use, or a bariatric patient lift, Joerns offers reliable solutions trusted by hospitals and home caregivers alike.

What Is a Hoyer Lift?

A Hoyer lift is a type of patient lifting device designed to safely transfer individuals with limited mobility. Using a sling system, the lift reduces physical strain on caregivers while ensuring the patient is moved securely.
