Tested and approved products
The assistive devices manufactured by Handicare
AB are of top-quality and fulfill established standards
for these types of medical- and healthcare aids.
All of our assistive devices are CE-marked and
many are patented. All of our assistive devices
comply with the requirements of the Medical
Devices Directive for Class 1 products (MDD
93/42/EEC).
Functional materials
ULF™ (Ultra Low Friction) is the registered trademark
for Handicare AB's sliding material which is used to
achieve extremely low friction in, for example,
sliding mats.
Disposable and wipeable materials facilitate
infection control efforts
Handicare's SystemRoMedic™ range offers an
increasing selection of personal transfer aids
for short-term use. Instead of laundering, these
products are discarded after use, when they get
soiled or when the user no longer needs them.
This prevents the spread of multi-resistant and
other types of contagious bacteria.
Our wipeable transfer aids are made from a strong,
safe and comfortable material with a smooth and soft
surface and many practical features. The surface of
the entire product can be cleaned using disinfectants.
In fact, we call this material "wipeable" but these
products can actually be dipped in water or used
in the shower without getting wet.
Protective covers
Most sizes of EasySlide can be fitted with a replace-
able protective cover, which is made of polyester and
can easily be cleaned. Most sizes of EasySlide and
RollerSlide can also be fitted with disposable covers,
made of bio-degradable polyethylene, which provide
for even further improved hygiene and less laundry.
SystemRoMedic is a complete solution for easy transfers. The concept
TM
encompasses four product areas that meet most needs in different transfer situations.
Transfer, between two locations. Positioning, within the same location.
Support, for mobility. Lifting, both manual and mechanical.
Using Handicare's SystemRoMedic
products should feel good
