Patient Transfer Systems...No Lifting Required!


When does the caregiver become the patient?  When she injures herself in the lifting of a patient. Statistics reveal that nursing personnel are among the leaders in the labor force for lower back injury compensation claims, with most of these injuries linked to patient-lifting tasks. At the same time, the patient being lifted is in danger of arm and brachial plexus types of injuries, along with shoulder and back injuries as well. Now you can leave all of that dangerous heavy lifting in the past, and embrace the innovation and ease of  the future with a BeasyTrans Easy Transfer System from Rehabmart. 

The BeasyTrans Easy Transfer Systems provide an upright and dignified lateral slide, rather than any type of lift transfer, placing the user on a safe, stable seat. As the seat glides easily across the base of the system, the friction caused by movement is absorbed by the system and not the user's skin, eliminating tissue breakdown. And for caregivers, no-lift transferring means no more lift related injuries. Strains and slipped discs are a thing of the past when you simply guide and glide your patient into place.

 
    From library.rehabmart.com    The The Original Beasy Transfer System is perfect for car and vehicle transfers, as the longer 40 inch length accommodates transfers in areas where space is not an issue. This model is also very helpful in boosting or repositioning patients while they are in bed.

 
    From library.rehabmart.com    The BeasyGlyder Transfer System is an ideal solution for those situations when the arm of the wheelchair is not removable, or the wheel is an obstacle. The 32 inch crescent shape also supports the caregiver's natural transferring motion.

 
    From library.rehabmart.com    The Beasy II Transfer System is great for small areas, especially bathroom transfers. At 27.5 inches, this system is often used for independent transfers, when the attending professional approves. This is also a popular model for boosting patients when they are in bed.

The design of the Original BeasyTrans, the BeasyGlyder and the Beasy II make it possible to apply this gliding transfer technology to a wide range of transfer and therapeutic functions in both the clinical and home environments. For example, a bed to gurney supine transfer of a patient is typically a very difficult and often injury-incurring task. But with strategic placement of the Beasy seat under a draw sheet, a minimum number of caregivers can now easily perform this task, without any lifting. And because the seat rotates a full 360 degrees on the base, these systems can also be used for range-of-motion exercises for the hands and feet, or other body parts as seen appropriate by the medical professional.

All three models are manufactured of ultra strong polymers and among the toughest plastics known to man. These transfer systems have a listed weight capacity of 400 pounds and have been stress tested to over 1,100 pounds in laboratories without breakage. The track guard on the underside of the track helps to keep 'egg crate' and other soft cushioning systems from invading the track and obstructing the movement of the seat. The frictionless, lateral slide of the BeasyTrans Easy Transfer Systems is the ultimate in patient transfer...for both the patient and the caregiver. Say goodbye to the lifting and injury of past transfer systems, and say hello to the ease and comfort of the guide and slide transfer method instead!
