to lift, position and transfer clients or a disabled family member. The Pressure Fit System is part of what is
termed overhead lift technology which takes advantage of lifting from above and not from below or the side.
The Pressure Fit System makes it possible to move mobility impaired individuals with minimal strain or risk
to the caregiver, while providing complete safety, dignity and comfort for the client or family member.
The Pressure Fit System is designed to work with a Prism Medical portable lift system such as the
P-440. Use of other portable lift units with this system may be possible but not P-600 because capacity of
pressure fit system is 440 lbs. However, please contact your local authorised Prism Medical Ltd dealers in or-
der to obtain approval before use.
The Pressure Fit System can be used to lift and transfer individuals from a bed, chair or similar fixture. The
length is adjustable and thus can be assembled to suit a wide range of applications. The Pressure Fit System is
easy to assemble and can be completed by just one person in a short period of time. Additionally, no tools are
required. It is also light in weight and once dismantled, can be moved to another location such as a hotel or cot-
tage.
