Bariatric Lifts

These lifts come from some of the most innovative companies at the forefront of patient care.

MAXI CARE LIFT

MAXI CARE BARIATRIC LIFT
The Maxi Care Bariatric Lift was designed and built with the
safety of the patient and care giver in mind. The Maxi Care Bariatric
Lift is fully electric and the swivel and lower functions dramatically
reduce the risk of caregiver injury when transferring a patient. The
stability of the base legs open and extend to ensure a safe patient
transfer.

Bariatric Beds

We sourced these innovative beds from a company specializes in products for bariatric care. They are designed to assist patient and caregivers when working with patients of size, while maintaining dignity.

E-Z WIDER™ BARIATRIC CHAIR-BED

​Kreg Therapeutics is an industry leader in bariatric care and management. Our specialized products are tailored to meet the challenges of bariatric care. After years of research and development, Kreg Therapeutics has engineered its own bariatric bed-- the E-Z Wider Bariatric Chair-Bed™. This state-of-the-art bed has been proven to reduce patient stays and improve the quality of life for the bariatric patient.

• Revolutionary function and design dramatically reduces the physical challenges for the patient, nurse, and therapist

Features
UNMATCHED PATIENT MOBILITY
The E-Z Wider™ Chair Bed transforms into a chair for easy patient egress with the lowest seat height of any chair bed currently on the market. Powered foot rails automatically assist the patient into an upright posture. This allows for greater patient independence and fewer nurse injuries.

Bariatric Mattresses

Xcelsior™ Mattress

A MOST ADVANCED MATTRESS
This mattress is designed for those patients who require the highest degree of pressure redistribution. The multi-layer design incorporates three different types of foam to provide not only a therapeutic pressure relieving surface, but one that is supportive and comfortable.

The Xcelsior mattress features a premium deluxe, removable, stretch nylon cover reduces friction and shearing. The urethane laminate is fluid proof and further helps to reduce interface pressure. The waterfall zipper ensures that fluid cannot reach the mattress core. This mattress meets the California Flame Retardancy Standards TB# 117, 129 and 603 as well as latest Federal Standard 16 CFR 1633.

Serenity™ Mattress

THERAPEUTICALLY DESIGNED FOAM CORE
Therapeutically designed foam mattress core uses computerized fabricating equipment to sculpture mattress surface for maximum pressure relief, support, ventilation and comfort. The Pressure Eez® Serenity™ Pressure Prevention Mattress provides therapeutic support and pressure relief that is far superior to conventional innerspring mattresses.

 

Patient Transport

A bariatric transport chair solves limited mobility issues without the need to use a traditional wheelchair that may not be appropriate or fit. A transport chair typically has four wheels, two in the front and two in the rear. Anti-tip casters prevent the chair from pitching forward as the patient is seated. Anti-tip wheels can also be added on the rear.
