The name Oxford® is
synonymous with lifts. After
engineer John Payne installed
his first wall-mounted lift in
Oxfordshire, UK in 1954, the
first ‘Oxford’ mobile patient
hoist was commercialised
and launched onto the
general market the following
year. The brand name Oxford
was chosen because of the
rich tradition of medical
research and development
concentrated in the Oxford
region. Though primitive
by today’s standards, that
design is still considered to
be one of the forerunners of
modern lifts.
By building upon Oxford’s ingenuity, Joerns
Healthcare is taking safe patient handling to new
levels and revolutionising the care environment.
Committed to providing a complete line of
innovative, patient-focused solutions, Joerns is
helping organisations prevent caregiver and patient
injuries, minimise falls, reduce the severity of pressure
injuries, and increase patients’ mobilisation.
Designed with the patient, caregiver, and service personnel
in mind, the Oxford Elara™* emphasises safety, reliability and
ease of use. It provides an exceptional solution, tested to the
most stringent international standards, and its extensive set of
integrated safety systems ensures the patient and caregiver
feel secure at all times. Service and maintenance can be
performed quickly since no tools are required to remove the
Elara from the track or to access its motor, thereby reducing
downtime and enabling the product to be used as intended.
Injury and fall prevention are driving forces behind any Oxford
design. Innovative features such as the end illumination panels
and weight indicator allow caregivers to perform vital job
duties safely and with minimal disruption to the patient.
The refreshing blend of contemporary design and maximum
functionality ensures the Elara will meet your needs today
and as they evolve. Compatible with a variety of comfortable
Oxford slings and complemented with an array of optional
professional services such as design planning, installation
services and technical support to maximise a ceiling lift
investment, Elara is sure to provide the perfect overhead
lifting solution.
