The Versatilt Story:
The Versatilt wheelchair tilting device, when first conceived was called by two names: Wheel LeMaster and Heliarc’s Wheelchair Tilt. But just the name Versatilt tells a vivid, exciting story.
The Versatilt is a wheelchair tilting device that, through its recent re- engineering, provides many medical and therapeutic advantages. It is patented; FDA cleared and has a Medicare/Medicaid billing code. This safe patient handling device can tilt a wheelchair and its occupant back, stopping at any degree of tilt, up to 65 degrees. It also securely supports a load of up to 750 pounds.
Initially developed to bring pressure relief to a family member who suffered with Multiple Sclerosis, the Versatilt has now evolved into a dynamic, door-opening opportunity for many care-providing professionals, and is a welcomed source of relief for the wheelchair seated individual. This state-of-the-art, safe patient handling device has arrived just in time. It brings a myriad of solutions to such important as relieving pressure points for those bound to wheelchairs. The Versatilt also eliminates chair to chair transfers of the wheelchair individual who needs to receive professional services. Optimal safety, care and comfort are now guaranteed through using the Versatilt. Services such as dental care, ophthalmological and wound care, diabetic services, blood and platelet donation centers, dialysis centers, personal hygiene care and individual private home use are some exciting examples. The story doesn’t end there! Professionals and care givers, whether in institutions, hospitals, clinics, large or small practices, or private home care, now have an answer to their own maladies acquired while providing optimal care. The body bending contortion that occurs while providing care to those in a wheelchair often times, results in professionals and caregivers giving up their practices due unbearable physical discomfort. A dentist explained that his chiropractor and acupuncturist had done all they could for him. He determined that owning a Versatilt would allow him to continue in his practice!
