We understand that there can be many complexities in each case and client so have put together a supporting document asking the questions you need when Specifying Hoisting, Bathing and Changing equipment.
Design and Manufacture
Fit for purpose prescriptions for simple or complex cases should be based on the deeper physical needs of the end user and their carers. No one understands these needs as well as case managers and our experienced product specialists build lasting relationships with case managers to bring solutions and ideas based on a comprehensive understanding of what is available and suitable. For example, we can suggest alternative types of internal bathing support or more appropriate slings, and bring space and aesthetic ideas to create the optimum solution between our own and other specialist equipment.
