“This is our go to device for people who need help up off the floor and it truly is a back saver for us.  I’ve used this on patients who are in the bathtub, on the floor or stuck on the toilet, all with great results.”– Joey S. (Senior Firefighter/ Paramedic)

We have been using the “People Mover” strap by Levigait; It’s part of our first out medical gear kit. I like it because it causes less strain to the patient, less wear and tear on my back, and it’s easy to clean. We won’t start a shift without one.

Dave A.- Paramedic Firefighter 

“As a firefighter and Peer Fitness Trainer for my fire department, I’ve found that the People Mover allows me and other firefighters the ability to lift with better technique and more comfortable for the person being lifted.” (-Todd C. Senior Firefighter, Paramedic, Peer Fitness Trainer)

One of the biggest risks that my peers and I face, every day, as First Responders and Emergency Personnel is the risk of back injuries caused by lifting patients. 
 
Following one especially challenging situation (watch video), Michael decided that both he and his peers needed a superior solution for lifting large patients. 
 
Back-injury affects more than one person. There is an immediate financial impact to his or her family, the community, and the organization.
