Question
My father is 69 and he has a broken hip and he has alzheimer''s disease. He cannot move. What lifter can I use to wash him and move him?

Answer

There are a few options available.  Depending upon your weight restrictions and how you would like to operate the unit, you may choose a standard capacity (usually under 350lbs) or bariatric capacity (400lbs or greater) and a manual hydraulic lift or an electric battery operated lift.

Various slings are available, if you are planning on using this for showering purposes, we would recommend a mesh sling, possibly with commode opening if you will be using this for toileting purposes as well.

Question
I am the Safety Director for our hosp/nursing home and family brought me info on your walkers. I have 2 questions: What are the seat measurements Is there increased mobility in the 8 wheel model over the 4 wheel? It looks like the pipes on the floor of the 4 wheel model would limit mobility.

Answer

1) The seat dimension on this model is 21.5in W x 13.5in D. 

2) The additional wheels are intended for added stability.  The 8 wheeled walkers are designed for taller people with a higher center of gravity. 

3) The pipes are anti-tipping devices and they should not impede mobility. 

Please let us know if we can be of further assitance.  You can also email us at inquiry@msecompany.net or call us toll free at 877-706-4480.
