Patient transfer lifts designed to carry patients in/out of a swimming pool in a sitting and/or recumbent position. These lifts typically consist of a pole rigidly mounted on a support close to the edge of a swimming pool, a powered (e.g., electric motors, hydraulic) mechanism including a swivel arm with a chair (may be interchangeable with a sling) attached at its free end, and controls for movement regulation. Swimming pool patient transfer lifts are mainly used for physical therapy and rehabilitation procedures; they may be installed in existing pools at home and/or in public-use facilities such as hospitals or schools.
