The
ErgoRaiser™
the comfort and support needs of both patient/client and practitioner. With superior infection prevention
properties, it is simple to use and has minimal maintenance costs.

Introduction

Undertaking any form of treatment or care procedure to a patient/client's limb can be a posturally awkward and
physically stressful experience that challenges the comfort, energy and physical wellbeing of both the health/care
practitioner and patient/client. By supporting the limb at a raised working height during the procedure, many of the
postural and operational difficulties that cause physical stressing can be alleviated and the risks to musculoskeletal
health more easily managed.
About the
ErgoRaiser™
Lightweight and modular in design, the ErgoRaiser™ may be assembled and configured in a
variety of ways to provide a wide range of support options and heights of elevation. This range
can enable patients/clients, including many with more complex mobility and treatment/care
needs, to have their limb comfortably supported in a raised position. The musculoskeletal
health and wellbeing of both patient/client and practitioner can therefore be facilitated and a
more comfortable, efficient and interactive experience afforded to both parties.
The versatility of the design enables comfortable support for a limb from either floor level
or raised surfaces such as a plinth, bed or table. The sturdiness of the support can assist
the practitioner in having both hands free to carry out the procedure.
Moulded in polyethylene and polyurethane, and containing an active antimicrobial agent,
the smooth lines and open design ensure all areas are accessible for efficient and
effective cleaning.
The multi-positional, easy to clean support pad eliminates the ongoing expense and
environmental impact of disposable slings, ensuring the ErgoRaiser™ is both
economical and eco-friendly.
Integral handles enable the ErgoRaiser™ to be easily moved, handled and transported.
The top module and pad may be stowed within the lower module to aid transportation
and storage. An optional shoulder strap is also available.
At floor level, when used in conjunction with its sister product the ErgoKneeler™, the two
devices form a very effective system for managing the entire kneeling posture; however,
the ErgoRaiser™ also works well with any other kneeling aid or simply by itself.
The ErgoRaiser™ can also provide effective support for individuals undergoing a limb recovery/rehabilitation
programme. For example: post-surgery/injury, management of pain/swelling, Return to Work programme,
therapy programme. Some other areas of use are within exercise/sport programmes and beauty/nail treatments.
