Toilet Assistance Device SATOILET
《Overview of the Device》
• After the care recipient has been transferred to the toilet, a trunk support harness is secured around them. The device is then raised using a remote control while pulling the two support arms toward the user.
• After using the toilet, the care recipient can stand up while being supported along a natural trajectory and maintain an upright posture.
《Aiming to Address Challenges in Conventional Care》
① Reduces the physical burden on caregivers
・the device handles the physical strain associated with sitting, standing, transferring, and maintaining an upright posture.
② Transition from two-person assistance to one-person assistance
・SATOILET handles the workload of one caregiver, making single-person assistance possible.
③ Independent toileting
・The monitoring and posture-maintaining functions during use allow for independent toileting, preserving dignity and reducing mental stress.
④ Expected maintenance and improvement of existing abilities
・The user is not fully lifted during transfer. Instead, the transfer is performed with assistance.
⑤ Installation in limited toilet spaces
・By mounting the unit on the ceiling (either through direct installation via renovation or using a ready-to-assemble frame that requires no construction), floor space can be utilized effectively.
