Dignified lifting
Liftup revealed the Raizer II at Rehacare – a mobile lifting chair that helps people who have fallen on the floor to get up again within a few minutes. Raizer II is an updated version of the original Raizer lifting chair and only requires one person to operate the device, resulting in minimal manual handling. The device is simple to set up as it has four identical legs and two identical backrests to ensure correct assembly every time. Raizer II is a safe and dignified way to lift a fallen person - perfect for shared spaces, such as care homes or public places. It also allows elderly people to live independently in their own home for as long as possible. For more information go to felgains.com/raizer2 or call 01473 741144
