Patient Safety carries a variety of adult changing tables, also called nursing tables or nursing benches. Made by Pressalit, CAN-DAN, or Smirthwaite, leaders in mobility devices and home modification for the disabled, our adult changing stations help to keep both the caregiver and the patient safe and comfortable for the nursing process.
Patient Safety USA’s Products serve to protect patients and empower their independence. Falls are one of the leading causes of injury and even death to the elderly and disabled in America. However, with simple modifications to a patient or resident’s environment, the risk of fall can be greatly reduced.
Patient Safety USA offers a great selection of wheelchair sinks designed to suit your needs. We carry only high quality Pressalit wheelchair sinks suitable for hospitals, healthcare facilities and homes. At Patient Safety USA, we seek to pass along Pressalit’s goal of helping their disabled clients live normally and without limitations.
Shower chairs from Patient Safety USA can make showering safer and more manageable for patients of varying abilities. Offering the ability to sit while showering, they reduce the risk of falls and can make showering accessible to those for whom standing for long periods is difficult or impossible.
