Occupational Therapy equipment available for hire
Trelity Health offers a limited range of specialist Occupational Therapy and Assistive Technology equipment for short or long-term hire. All items are clinically approved, maintained to high hygiene standards, and supported by an Allied Health assessment to ensure safety and correct use.
Lifters
Our range of lifters, including the Raizer Lifter and Camel Lifter are ideal for lifting a person from the floor after a fall. These lifters are lightweight, portable and fully automated and only require a single person to operate. Lifters are battery powered and can help a person to their feet in a matter of minutes without any physical exertion or risk of injury to both the user and operator.
Raizer Lifter
The Raizer Lifter is a portable chair lift suitable for lifting people up to 150kg. The main lifting device is placed underneath the knees and the supports effortlessly slide underneath the fallen person to create a chair lift. The Raizer lifter supports the entire body during the lift and raises the fallen person in a safe, dignified, and comfortable way.
Camel Lifter
The Camel Lifter is a portable inflatable chair lifter suitable for lifting people up to 320kg. It is lightweight (just 6.5kg), portable and suitable for indoor and outdoor use. To use the lift simply attach the leads and roll the lifter out alongside the fallen person. Slide the person onto the lift and inflate to raise the person to a comfortable seated position.
Communication Devices
Trelity Health offers a range of communication devices to help people with limited muscle function and/or limited voice control to communicate and operate a computer. Our eye gaze technology allows the user to operate a computer, laptop, iPad or speech device using their eyes instead of a mouse or keyboard.
Suction Devices
Suction devices are used to help clear the oral or nasal cavities of excess secretions and are ideal for patients who have difficulty swallowing and breathing.
