Morecare Snapdragon – Electric Patient Lift & Transfer Hoist with Gait Training Support

Bed-to-Wheelchair Transfers

Snapdragon helps trained caregivers move a suitable user from a bed to a wheelchair, or between compatible seating surfaces, using the included transfer sling.

The electric lifting mechanism reduces the need for direct manual lifting while allowing controlled raising and lowering through the wired handset.

Before each transfer, assess the user's positioning needs, sling fit, bed and wheelchair dimensions, floor clearance and available caregiver assistance.

Transfers Between Compatible Care Surfaces

Snapdragon may assist with transfers involving beds, wheelchairs and other compatible care equipment.

The adjustable base helps accommodate different equipment arrangements. However, compatibility with an individual bed, chair or commode must be assessed.

Specialized commode or head-support slings may be required for certain users and are available separately.

Floor-Level Patient Lifting

The lifting hook operates across a published approximate range of 2–7.5 ft above the floor.

This allows selected floor-level lifting applications when the user can be positioned appropriately in an approved sling.

If someone has fallen, possible injuries must be assessed before moving them.

Supported Standing Activities

The included walking sling can provide external lifting support during selected therapist-directed standing activities.

A physiotherapist should determine whether the user's head and trunk support, joint positioning and lower-limb loading are appropriate.

The hoist does not independently establish safe standing posture.

Therapist-Supervised Gait Training

Snapdragon's walking-sling configuration may support selected assisted stepping and walking exercises.

Morecare has confirmed that the current frame, boom and walking-sling configuration is intended for these applications when appropriately assessed.

The system does not independently control walking movement, balance or foot placement.

Homecare and Hospital Patient Handling

Snapdragon may support routine patient-handling requirements in homes, hospitals, nursing facilities and rehabilitation centres.

Correct training, sling selection, space planning and equipment checks are essential for use.

Realistic Functional Outcomes

Snapdragon's main purpose is to provide powered lifting assistance for patient transfers and selected supported rehabilitation activities.

It can reduce the amount of direct manual lifting required from caregivers.

It does not guarantee independent transfers, walking recovery or specific clinical improvements.

Who Is Snapdragon Suitable For?

• Adults who need significant assistance when transferring from a bed to a wheelchair or other compatible care surface.
• Users who cannot safely complete routine transfers without mechanical lifting assistance.
• Selected users requiring floor-level lifting using an approved procedure and appropriate sling.
• Individuals who may benefit from professionally supervised supported standing or gait training using the walking sling.
• Homecare or clinical environments with suitable floor space, equipment clearance and trained caregivers.

Maximum Weight and Sling Suitability

Snapdragon has a manufacturer-rated 300 kg Safe Working Load based on internal testing.

Both standard slings are rated 300 kg.

Safe selection must consider the user's body measurements, the sling size, attachment configuration, positioning requirements and the lowest-rated component.

Which Sling Should You Choose?

Transfer Sling — Included

Designed for assessed patient-transfer activities between compatible care surfaces.

Walking Sling — Included

Used for selected supported standing and gait-training exercises under professional supervision.

Commode Sling — Optional

May be suitable for certain toileting transfers after a compatibility and support assessment.

Full-Body or Head-Support Sling — Optional

Considered when the user requires a different level or arrangement of head and trunk support.

Pediatric and Bariatric Slings — Optional

Available for review according to individual measurements and rated compatibility.

Not every sling is appropriate for every activity or user.

When Another Product May Be Better

• If the person needs a dedicated sit-to-stand rehabilitation device rather than full sling-assisted lifting, a powered standing aid may be more appropriate.
• If controlled body-weight support during treadmill training is the main goal, consider a purpose-designed body-weight-support gait-training system.
• If the hoist cannot safely enter the required room or approach the bed or wheelchair, an alternative transfer solution may be necessary.
• If the user requires special positioning or a sling that cannot be safely fitted to the selected hoist, another system should be considered.

Measurements to Share Before Ordering

• User height and weight.
• Hip, trunk and other relevant body measurements.
• Head control, trunk control and general mobility limitations.
• Ability to sit, stand or bear weight.
• Intended lifting and transfer activities.
• Bed height and under-bed clearance.
• Wheelchair dimensions.
• Doorway width and turning space.
• Floor condition and available caregiver assistance.

Customization Options

• Different compatible sling sizes and designs.
• Custom mast heights and boom configurations.
• Modified adjustable-base configurations.
• Additional or replacement batteries.
• Other modifications subject to engineering review and testing.

Structural changes must not be assumed to retain the standard 300 kg rating without appropriate validation.

Before Ordering

Share the patient's requirements and room measurements with Morecare.

Confirm the final specification, price, optional accessories and delivery terms before payment.

Before Using Snapdragon

• Read the current Morecare Snapdragon User Manual and obtain practical operating training.
• Establish an individual patient-handling plan, including the correct sling, transfer procedure and number of caregivers required.
• Confirm the user's weight and the load rating of every fitted sling and lifting component.
• Check the floor, wheelchair, bed and surrounding area for suitable clearance.
• Confirm that the lift has sufficient battery charge and that the operator understands the approved emergency procedure.

Pre-Use Inspection

• Check the frame, base, mast, boom, spreader bar and sling attachment points.
• Inspect sling straps, stitching, loops and other load-bearing components for wear or damage.
• Check all castors, wheel brakes, frame connections and adjustment mechanisms.
• Verify the electrical control box, handset, battery and actuator operate normally.
• Never use a damaged sling, loose lifting connection or defective electrical component.

During Patient Transfers
