ABSTRACT:
A convertible patient lifting and transport apparatus includes a frame assembly mounted on wheels and adapted for rolling movement over a supporting surface. The frame assembly defines a patient carriage zone for being occupied by a patient above the supporting surface. A patient support is carried by the frame assembly. The patient support is convertible for supporting the patient in the carriage zone in a generally supine position and in a seated position. A mechanical elevating assembly is provided for lifting and lowering the patient support relative to the frame assembly. A frame conversion assembly moves the frame assembly between an open condition wherein the frame assembly expands for straddling a bed of the patient when lifting and removing the patient from the bed, and a closed condition wherein the frame assembly retracts outside of an area surrounding the bed for transporting the patient to a location away from the bed.
