Using the EZ Stand Aid with Low Clearance Stretcher Beds




The EZ Stand Aid is a versatile tool designed to assist caregivers in performing safe and efficient patient transfers. Its compatibility with low-clearance stretcher beds makes it a valuable addition to healthcare facilities aiming to improve patient handling workflows.

 

A key feature of the EZ Stand Aid is its low-profile base and short legs, giving it the ability to provide sufficient clearances when performing a transfer to or from a low clearance stretcher bed.  Its straightforward positioning and operation makes it suitable for a variety of patient transfer scenarios, including transitioning from the bed to a wheelchair, commode, or therapy area.

 

Additional Features of the EZ Stand Aid

  • Adjustable Legs - The adjustable legs provide flexibility in getting around obstacles like wheelchair wheels or chair legs. It also gives the stand aid the ability to fit through narrow doorways and around toilets.

  • Padded Split Seat - An automatic-locking padded split seat swings out for loading or unloading then swings back to form a comfortable, secure stand aid seat.

  • Compact and Maneuverable Design - The stand aid’s compact design allows caregivers to position it efficiently in tight spaces. Smooth-rolling casters make it easy to navigate around equipment and furniture, enhancing usability in busy healthcare environments.

  • Weight Capacity and Stability - The EZ Stand Aid’s stable base and 450 lb. weight capacity make it an excellent option for convenient pivot transfers or for easier commode access.

 

Supporting Daily Care Routines

When used with a low-clearance stretcher bed, the EZ Stand Aid integrates seamlessly into patient care routines. Its thoughtful design ensures compatibility across a variety of care settings, making it a practical solution for facilities focused on improving safety and efficiency.

 

The EZ Stand Aid is designed for quick transfers with minimal caregiver assistance. Users are actively engaged in the process by grasping the middle bar of the stand aid and pulling themselves up. Once standing, the caregiver engages an automatic-locking split seat to give the user a soft, safe, and comfortable seat while the transfer is completed. Keep in mind this transfer assist device isn’t for everyone. The EZ Stand Aid is designed for those who have the strength to lift and support themselves.
