Supporting your safe patient handling and fall prevention programs with clinically sound toilet transfer solutions

Clinical Applications


LiftSeat® can be configured to easily move from room to room to meet a wide range of your facility’s clinical needs.

LiftSeat® toilet transfer solutions increase caregiver and patient safety by reducing the risk of falls and eliminating the need to lift patients in a wide range of clinical applications. Many patients cannot be assisted with toileting through traditional sling-based lifting equipment due to their condition or injury. In addition, the cost of tracking these lifts into facility bathrooms limit their usefulness for toileting.

LiftSeat® offers a safe and practical solution for:

  • Orthopedic Recovery and Rehabilitation
  • Surgical Intensive Care Units
  • Medical Intensive Care Units
  • Med-Surg Departments
  • Obstetrics Departments
  • Geriatrics Departments
  • Sub-Acute and Long-Term Care Facilities
  • Home After-Care Programs
