Stretcher Chairs
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.
Human Care’s convertible chair is a no-lifting multi-functional device that helps health care professionals to more efficiently and effectively perform their safe patient handling practices, such as transfer, reposition, transport and early mobilization of patients, resulting in improved patient safety and dignity, reduced work related injuries and reducing patient length of stay.

H-250
The H-250 Convertible Chair is a unique device that easily converts from a stretcher to an upright mobile chair in seconds. It is the first step to early patient mobilization, providing a no-lift solution for moving, repositioning and transferring patients safely and effectively. The H-250 features Tilt-in-Space capability that allows for unlimited repositioning. Patient transfer and repositioning is key to early mobilization and increased blood circulation to prevent complications associated with compromised mobility. The H-250 chair can be equipped with a Patient Transfer System (PTS) to offer transfers between a bed and a chair with ease by a single caregiver without risk of injury to the patient or caregiver. The H-250 can also be used with other traditional SPH transfer techniques like slide sheets or air-assisted devices. |
