Un appareil pour soulever et tourner un patient invalide comprend un cadre ouvert à placer au-dessus d'un lit, un engin de levage soutenu par le cadre ouvert et des courroies de soutien conçues pour être placées sur le matelas sous le patient, et y être laissées en tout temps. Les courroies peuvent être enlevées et remplacées pour être posées transversalement, de façon à soutenir la tête, le tronc et les jambes du patient. Des courroies d'attache sont prévues pour raccorder les courroies de soutien à l'engin de levage, permettant ainsi aux courroies de soutien de soulever le patient au-dessus du matelas, pour, en particulier, changer les draps. Un appareil raccordé à l'engin de levage est prévu pour tourner le patient d'un côté sur l'autre dans le lit.
