Multiple Benefits
The multiple benefits of the EZ Care Chair™ make it the obvious choice when caring for fully or maximally dependent patients:
- Single caregiver transfer
- Reduced Covid-19 caregiver-patient cross infection (see low-contact “touchless” patient transfer video)
- Reduced liability, Workers Comp. costs, caregiver occupational injuries
- 80% fewer transfers – no transfers for showering, toileting
- Fast access to toilet, commode, shower (see charts below)
- Fast toileting – reduced incontinence, less use of briefs, diapers, pull-ups – see video of 90 second toileting process
- Optional self-toileting and self-showering for more functional patients – see 45 second self-toileting and 30 second self-toileting videos
- Safer than floor or overhead lifts which can drop patients
- Caregiver transfer time reduced by 60 to 80%
- Incontinent patients wearing briefs can be changed in the chair (no patient transfer to the bed required)
- Less invasive than sling transfer – no bending, compressing, dragging during transfer
- Reduced pain, anxiety, less tearing and bruising of skin
- Transfer in supine or prone position
- One size fits all transfer sheet – no sizing or assessment (required with sling selection)

Transfer Time Savings Per Week

What this means…
The chart shows the weekly caregiver time required to transfer patients – bed to mobile chair, and mobile chair to toilet/commode or shower. The EZ Care Chair™ is 60% to 90% faster (in caregiver minutes) than a sling lift. For instance, using the commode 4 times a day (2 transfers, to and from, per visit) requires 56 weekly transfers (4 x 2 x 7 days) . Because transfers are so labor-intensive, streamlining them will substantially reduce the cost of patient care.
