The BeasyTrans Original, BeasyII and BeasyGlyder - Easy Transfer Systems provide an upright, dignified lateral slide, rather than any type of lift transfer. No lifting means that soreness and injury to the patient's shoulders and arms are greatly reduced and frequently eliminated. In addition, the Beasy technology is "tissue friendly." The friction caused by movement is absorbed by the system, not the user's skin.
" No Lift Transferring" is important to caregivers as well as the patient. Statistics show that nursing personnel, for example, are among the leaders in the labor force for lower back injury compensation claims. Numerous studies have linked these injuries directly to patient moving tasks. With a Beasy, "No Lift" transfer, the risk of injuries caused by lifting is greatly reduced.
All three models of the BeasyTrans System are made of ultra strong polymers which are patented products of the Dupont company. These materials reinforced resins are among the toughest plastics know to man.
Our boards have been used to transfer patients weighing over 400 lbs. and have been stress tested to over 1100 lbs. in laboratories without breakage. This board has a track guard covering the underside of the track. Its purpose is to keep "egg crate" and other soft cushioning systems from pushing into the track and obstructing the movement of the seat. The track guard is also removable for cleaning.
