VitalGo Lift-Up Bed
 
Hospital Bed 2008 LUB - Seating with legs down
Home Use Design Home Use Standing

The VitalGo Lift-Up bed eliminates the need for safety straps or caregiver assistance during getting in and out bed. As the bed tilts, a patented foot-lifter brings the user to ground level and the bed’s precisely controlled mechanism guarantees the user's centre of gravity is always to the back, safeguarding the user from falling. When the bed reaches the full upright position, the user safely steps away from the bed.

The Lift-Up bed helps safeguards users caregivers, such as family members, nurses and therapists. It is the only bed on the market that enables older and infirm people to safely move from a reclining to a full-standing position, without help and protects them from the risk of falling. The Lift-Up bed provides numerous positioning options, ranging from reclining to sitting-to-standing and anything in-between.

For rehabilitation facilities, nursing homes and hospitals, the Lift-Up bed offers an effective way to comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommendation that the manual lifting of residents be minimized and alternative safety solutions implemented.

The Lift-Up bed is an effective aging-in-place autonomy solution for older people and those with disability. It allows users to get in and out of bed independently and with dignity. Even for relatively agile seniors, Lift-Up can suit their needs today and in the future, as functional capabilities diminish.
