Patients ranging in weight from
300 pounds, up to 1000 pounds can be a challenge for
both patient and caregiver. The bariatric patient with
a compromised health status often finds it difficult
to ambulate. Caregivers run the risk of injuring themselves
when assisting these patients to mobilize and transfer.
SunMed Medical Systems provides virtually all of the products
available to help manage these patients. From extra
wide beds and trapeze units to forearm crutches, to
various lifts including lift-free transfer devices capable
of managing patients up to 1000 pounds, we understand
the challenges and are ready to consult with you to
ensure the patient is adequately managed while preventing
injury to caregivers. Please take some time to look
at our extensive product offering to meet the needs
of these patients.
If the equipment you need isn’t
listed, please call us to see if we can obtain the necessary
item for you.
We specialize in locating and placing unique and hospital
grade medical equipment for the home setting. |

Bariatric No-Lift Transfer System |
Moving a bedridden
patient can be challenging. While performing a
patient transfer on an average sized person can
be difficult and unsafe for both patient and caregiver,
with obese patients, the task can be an even greater
challenge.
This no-lift transfer system
allows a single caregiver to transfer a non or
limited ambulatory patient safely and easily.
A patient can be laterally transferred from almost
any hospital or homecare bed to and from the chair
without the fear and risk of injury to either
patient or caregiver. Non-bariatric models also
available. This item is available as a rental
or a purchase.
• Converts from an
upright position to a prone, stretcher position
• Single caregiver can easily transfer a
patient from bed to stretcher/chair, and back
again
• Weight capacity of up to 1000 pounds
• Seat width from 21.5 to 31 inches.
• Fully adjustable head rest with side support
• Heavy duty central locking/steering wheels
• No electricity needed
• Delivered and installed in the patient’s
home

| Bariatric Ascender
Chair |
Patients that are morbidly
obese often find it difficult to move from a sitting
position to a standing position, due to the height
of a standard chair seat from the floor, the actual
seat width and depth, the angle of the seat itself,
and a lack of anything to “hold onto”
when moving from a sitting to standing position.
Therapy Solution's Hip Chairs, available in both
standard and bariatric models, is designed to
reduce the patient effort, and staff risk associated
with performing the Sit to Stand Maneuver. This
is NOT a lift chair! Rather, it is designed to
promote patient self-reliance, and reduce the
risk of staff injuries in assisting patients to
stand. |
