Roseville, California – The Innovations Health Devices secured the production and distribution licensures for two products – an automatic brake and safety harness designed for the caregivers and the disabled community.
Based in Roseville, the Innovations Health Devices, LLC currently manufactures and distributes a lever-drive and brake for wheelchairs, called the Wijit. The same company is also the United States’ Jaco robotic arm distributor.
The automatic brake and safety harness are the company’s newest products, named the BrakeThrough and Ergotrans Safe Transfer Harness respectively. These two products perfectly fit into the existing product portfolio that are geared towards the disabled community, according to the company president Ken McGuire.
The disabled community, along with their caregivers are provided with a sort of an urgent care near me facility, considering the mobility difficulties and restrains of a disabled person.
McGuire said the company has been marketing for the disabled community for some time now, thus, the newest products are easier for the company to market compared to their entrepreneurial inventors. McGuire emphasized that they can offer this urgent care to clients as they interact with them.
The automatic brake and safety harness were not developed by a single inventor. Thus, the Ergotrans was created by Sindy Decker, developing a belt-like harness along with stable lifting points. It will allow the disabled person to wear the belt, while providing the caregiver with steady lifting points that are ergonomically positioned. This product will be used while lifting people from their wheelchairs to their cars or from their wheelchairs to their beds and vice versa. It can serve as an urgent care clinic relief for both the disabled and its caregiver.
Meanwhile, the BrakeThrough, a mechanical device will allow an automatic wheel lock for manual wheelchairs as soon as the weight is detached from the seat. People with disabilities and who are new to wheelchairs oftentimes use the armrest for support in order to stand up. However, this process frequently sends the wheelchairs back as soon as the patient gets out of the seat. Such process accounts for many accidents and falls, requiring additional treatments.
The BrakeThrough will be able to lock the wheels immediately, and as soon as the weight comes off the seat. McGuire said the BrakeThrough’s target markets are institutional marketplaces such as urgent care clinics, long-term care facilities, hospitals, homes for the aged, and other health care facilities. McGuire pointed out that the automatic brake and safety harness will certainly assist many disabled communities.
