Translock™ Wheelchair Stabilizing Device
Recent statistics indicate that 80% of injuries suffered by wheelchair users are caused by chair tips or patient falls. Besides the physical injuries sustained in these situations, the psychological effects associated with falling are traumatic on wheelchair users, their loved ones and caregivers. While embarrassing to younger wheelchair users, falls among elderly users can be particularly serious and lead to life-threatening circumstances.
As wheelchair users strive to maintain independence and mobility, simple everyday tasks like transferring from wheelchair to bed, toilet, or shower pose injury risk to the chair user and liability to caregivers in managed healthcare settings.
Until now, no product has existed to specifically address the danger of falls related to wheelchair tips during transfers. It took a fall incident by a wheelchair user, his idea to prevent such incidents to bring a revolutionary product to the marketplace. From traumatic circumstance, the Translock™ system was conceived, and global wheelchair users are now set to experience the life-improving benefits of this product—enhanced safety, mobility and quality of life.
The Translock™ is an innovative device engineered to provide wheelchair balance, stability, and peace of mind to wheelchair users and caregivers. Translock™ secures the wheelchair to a fixed object, like a bed, toilet, or shower. Safely securing the wheelchair during transfer.
