Ergonomic Medical Products

Locate medical ergonomic equipment for lifting patients This medical ergonomic equipment comes in several varieties. Total-body devices move patients who are completely dependent. Stand-assist devices help patients who have partial upper body strength. Compact devices are used in home care and medical offices and to move patients to and from vehicles. Ambulation lifts support a patient while walking. Bathtub or shower lifts transport the patient from the bed or chair to the bath and back.

I recommend:  Scroll through the wide range of lifts available from AliMed, EZ Way, Inc., and T.H.E. Medical.

Find medical ergonomic equipment for lateral transfers These ergonomic medical supplies are simple devices used to transfer patients from one flat surface to another, like a cot to an examining table. Examples include transfer boards, draw and slippery sheets, gurneys with connected slide boards, and transfer mats and slings.

I recommend:  Armstrong Medical Industries, Inc. and Universal Medical Inc. have wide selections of patient transfer boards and other medical ergonomic supplies.

Identify ergonomic medical products to aid patient ambulation, reposition and manipulation These include fixtures and stands, gait belts, hand blocks, lift-type ergonomic medical chairs, lift cushions, pivot discs, push-up bars, range of motion machines and trapeze bars.

I recommend:  Contact MedexSupply for gait belts. Claflin Medical Equipment carries an extensive inventory of trapeze bars.
