Introducing the Versatilt

An amazing piece of equipment that offers a safe solution for the difficulties facing the wheelchair bound individual and medical professionals, nurses and care givers.

The Versatilt is a wheelchair tilting device that affords the wheelchair seated individual access to needed dental, nursing facilities, assisted care, medical and personal use. It also provides comfort and relaxation.

• Easily accommodates most manual and motorized wheelchairs.

• Eliminates the potential for injury and liability issues associated with manual transfer of patients

• Much more affordable than motorized wheelchairs with a reclining component

• Actually provides therapeutic comfort to a patient while being examined

• Has a Medical Billing Code 1399E

• Small Business Tax credit available from the IRS for those that qualify.

The Versatilt can recline an individual, seated in their own wheelchair, up to 65 degrees. This angle of tilt, like that of the astronaut couch developed by NASA, allows for the optimum dispersement of weight evenly across the body.

The ability to tilt an individual at various degrees, up to and including 65 degrees allows for; optimum dental care, podiatric care,  helps with blood flow issues, atrophy, digestion, leg elevation, pressure relief, rehabilitation assessment and care and reduces the risk of bed sores, which is the second leading cause of death of the elderly.

By reducing the number of bed-to-chair or chair-to chair transfers, there can be a great savings realized in time, energy, frustration and attendant care as well as the reduction of patient and care giver injuries.

It clearly addresses job safety issues and potential workers’ compensation claims as well as patient comfort and peace of mind equating to a higher quality of life.

The Versatilt qualifies, for businesses providing services to persons with disabilities, a 50% tax credit. They should consult their tax advisor for more information. The forms are included in the sales portfolio, Federal Form 8826, Disability Access Tax Credit.

Applications

• In the institutional care system, the Versatilt provides service to any number of patients in a variety of settings.  Consider the benefits to dental, podiatry, physical therapy, personal care and elderly care, just to name a few.

• From the administration’s point of view, the financial cost and human toll surrounding the issues of on-the-job safety, reduction of worker’s compensation claims and worker productivity are all positively impacted by the use of this device.

• For the caregiver, current statistics show that a high percentage of healthcare providers suffer from injuries, often resulting in leaving their profession, time away from work or costly worker compensation claims.   The Versatilt not only offers better positioning of the patient for less stressful treatment for the caregiver, but also eliminates the need for dangerous chair transfers.

• For the individual user, there are many benefits as well.  The potential for patient injury (such as falls and skin tears) as a consequence of a manual handling mishap is reduced by using the Versatilt.   The Versatilt provides a more secure process for repositioning patients.  This provides them a safer means to progress through their care, have less anxiety, be more comfortable and it helps to maintain their dignity.

• Many Uses - The Versatilt has many other practical and medical uses in assisted living facilities, physical therapy clinics, rehabilitation hospitals, podiatry centers, universities, and personal homes.  Moreover, its therapeutic value is well documented in preventing the potential for bedsores, the second leading cause of death among the elderly.
