Convertible Chairs
A Practical Approach to Mobility – Intensive Care Unit
Today’s critically ill patients are often sicker, heavier, more complex and at risk for the hazards of immobility. Experts explain that the hazards of immobility adversely impact long-term recovery from a critical illness. Acute care facilities across the US and globally are seeking innovative practices to address these hazards in a cost-effective manner that yields high worker compliance, and better short and long-term patient outcomes.
This White Paper highlights relevant research, and features findings from a pilot study conducted by Covenant Medical Center, a Covenant Health facility, in Lubbock Texas.

Transfer and reposition heavy users – an increasing problem.
Obesity is a globally growing problem. Obesity in the United States has been increasingly cited as a major health issue in recent decades. While many industrialized countries have experienced similar increases, obesity rates in the United States are among the highest in the world. One out of every three Americans is now considered to be obese. During the early 21st century, America often contained the highest percentage of obese people in the world.
This means that the knowledge of tool users and understanding about appropriate products increases. Human Care‘s product range of transport chairs are an excellent example of suitable products for heavy users. The range has a maximum user weight up to 317 kg/700 lbs.
Easy transfer performed by an individual healthcare providers – Patient Transfer System
The duties to caregivers as well as the risk of musculoskeletal injuries have progressively increased as a result of the constant demand of moving and repositioning patients regardless of their size and/or weight.
By using our PTS system (Patient Transfer System) unnecessary lifting and risk of injury to caregivers is minimized. Our Patient Transfer System (PTS) works together with our convertible chairs to offer a multitude of positioning capabilities within a single product.
Designed to allow a single caregiver to easily and safely transport and reposition a patient, our chairs can perform the functions of a stretcher, mobile chair, and custom seating.
