[Discontinued] Transfer Assistance Device Utilizing Mechatronics Technology

“Extending the time care recipients spend sitting to enhance their activity and participation” & “Reducing the physical burden on caregivers”

~ Creating care support devices that are gentle on everyone—caregivers, care recipients, and everyone in between ~

Product Features

・A single caregiver can perform the transfer! Plus, it’s easy to move and operate. From start to finish, a single caregiver can transfer the patient from the bed to the wheelchair.

・No physical strain on the caregiver! Power-assisted functions, such as lifting, reduce the physical burden on the caregiver. By utilizing a sling seat, the patient can be lifted by the arms without putting uneven pressure on their body.

・Posture control that facilitates the next activity! Posture control ensures the patient assumes a position suitable for various activities following the transfer. Pelvic tilt control allows the patient to sit in the correct posture.

Technical Features

・Excellent ride comfort: Causes no anxiety for the care recipient. Our proprietary technology ensures smooth lifting and lowering, as well as seamless tilting and rotation. The mechanism is highly rigid, preventing any shaking during normal operation. As a result, it places no mental or physical strain on the care recipient.

・Safety/Peace of Mind: The device’s power-assisted lifting functions, such as lifting, reduce the burden on caregivers. By using a sling sheet, the patient can be lifted using the arms without putting uneven pressure on any part of their body.
