Woman develops mobility devices to help her husband

Shared by Patricia Pereira on 2015-06-10 21:19

About the solution

She created multiple devices and founded her own company. One of the inventions is the Bed Sled, which a person lies on top of, and is used to reposition the person in bed or in a recliner. The other main product is the Skid Seat, which helps move a person around in a wheelchair or recliner. Each Bed Sled ranges in size. It has a cotton/polyester absorbent material facing the person, with a polyurethane or vinyl PVC backing. There are between four and 10 handles on each Bed Sled.

The products can be bought online.
