Our innovative products are designed with the safety of individuals or residents in mind, as well as the postural comfort of the carer.Our aim is to supply you with high quality products, at the lowest possible prices, whilst providing the best possible level of service. We work with healthcare professionals and organisations to develop evacuation products to cater for all types of individuals, including patients with specialist or complex care needs. Many of our products can be modified. If, for example, you are looking for evacuation equipment for young children we can produce smaller versions or increase the padding for the safe and secure movement of people with conditions such as brittle bones. Worldwide obesity has more than doubled since 1980 leading to a greater demand for moving and handling equipment for bariatric individuals. The rising levels of obesity in the population affect hospitals, ambulance services, funeral directors and fire and rescue services as they struggle to move and transport bariatric individuals.We understand that the body mass of bariatric individuals can vary, our range of bariatric equipment allows for the safe evacuation of obese and overweight individuals while protecting your staff against manual handling related injuries. Figures from the Health and Safety Executive show that in health and social care services, moving and handling injuries account for 40 per cent of work-related sickness absence. Our range of moving and handling equipment has been designed with comfort and safety in mind to reduce the risk of injury to your staff and the individual being moved. We also offer a modular floor mat, developed through NHS Innovations, to form part of a fall injury prevention programme.
