a patient is fully risk assessed and conducted safely over a short distance only.
The Oxford Presence is suitable for patients in the SITTING, SITTING/RECUMBENT and RECUMBENT
positions.
The Oxford Presence is an electrically operated patient lift, designed to support and promote safe
patient handling and transfer for both the patient and carer.

bar and one that has an Integrated APC (4-point). The Oxford Presence lift which incorporates
the 6-point spreader bar is also compatible with 4-point cradle options, available as after-market
accessories. All configurations are designed to be used with the Oxford range of slings. The examples
