BigSlider and the Hoyer Lift for Wheelchair-bound Husband and his Wife Caregiver

One customer purchased BigSlider to help maneuver her husband so she could use the Hoyer lift to get him back into the wheelchair.

She came home from the store yesterday and had to use BigSlider for the first time. Her husband had fallen out of his wheelchair into a place where she couldn't reach him with the Hoyer lift. He rolled on his side, she slid BigSlider up to him, then he rolled back.

She was surprised at how easy it was -- and how much easier it was on him, too. It slid right over the Hoyer lift legs, and she easily got him into position. Now she wants to keep it in the car so that when they go to physical therapy, transferring him from the car to the chair will be easier and safer.
