C1000 TANDEM BARIATRIC SYSTEM
In cases where a client's weight, size or medical condition requires precise control when transferring or
re-positioning, The C-1000 Tandem Bariatric Lift provides a safe and reliable solution.
The transfer or re-positioning of Bariatric clients can be difficult. A single track can push the legs of a
Bariatric client toward the torso, decreasing the hip angle, and compressing the upper body. This can
cause discomfort and, in some cases compromise breathing.
Mounted on dual ceiling tracks running parallel to each other, each track fitted with its own inde-
pendently-operated motor, the C-1000 Tandem Bariatric system allows a caregiver to separately lift tor-
so and legs. This allows the caregiver to keep the angle between the torso and femur open - sometimes
difficult to achieve using a single-motor lift system. Precise body positioning, whether seated or recum-
bent, is possible with the C-1000 Tandem Bariatric System providing maximum flexibility and comfort.
Caution: The C-1000 Tandem Bariatric system requires more staff co-ordination be-
cause of its dual motor system. Each lift has its own hand control and its operated inde-
pendently often requiring two staff members acting as a team.
