Raizer 2 Lifting Chair

Product Information

• Description

  Please note: This chair does not come with a Headrest – you will need to purchase that separately here 

  How does it work?

  The Raizer 2 is made up of seven large parts: four legs, two backrest pieces, and the seat, which holds the motor mechanism.

  When responding to lift elderly or disabled people after a fall, simply slide the seat under the fallen person’s knees, click the backrest pieces and legs in place (there will be a beep when each is correctly inserted) and use the remote control to gently raise the chair. The person will be raised with the chair until both themselves and the Raizer are in an upright seated position. Both the movement and seated position are stable, controlled and dignified – perfect for shared spaces, such as care homes or public places.

  Improvements over the Raizer I

  The Raizer 2 is even easier to assemble. All leg sections are identical and nothing is ‘handed’ so it is virtually impossible to assemble incorrectly. There is an audible beep with a unique tone when each section is inserted correctly into the seat unit, so you can be sure it is correctly assembled before lifting. The Raizer 2 is also IP52 rated, meaning all surfaces are safe and easy to clean and disinfect.

• FAQs

  • Can the Raizer 2 be used outside?
    Yes, the Raizer 2 can be used inside and outside. It’s been tested on grass, gravel and paving slabs as well as all types of indoor floor surfaces like lino, carpet and tiles.
  • Is it really possible for one person to lift someone who has fallen?
    Yes, there is absolutely no manual lifting involved – all that is required is for an assistant to operate the controls to lift the person who has fallen.
  • How long does the battery last?
    On a fully charged battery, the Raizer 2 is capable of up to 80 lifts. A single lift is possible on a 10 minute charge.
  • Will the Raizer 2 work in spaces where there is no room for a hoist?
    Yes, the Raizer 2 requires little more than the footprint of a fallen person for its operation and there’s no need for the turning circle that would be necessary when using a hoist.
  • Is it easy to work out what goes where?
    All the leg sections are identical and no sections are ‘handed’ – so it is virtually impossible to assemble incorrectly. There is an audible beep when each section is inserted correctly into the seat unit.
  • How high does the Raizer 2 lift a person?
    The Raizer 2 can lift someone either to a seated position or to a perching position for very easy transfers once the lift is completed. The lift can also be stopped at any point and reversed if necessary.

• Raizer 2 Recommendations

  “I purchased a Raizer Emergency Lifting Chair in the first quarter of 2016 on behalf of Lincolnshire Partnership Foundation NHS Trust.

  We have used it as required on our Dementia and Functional wards within an older adults’ mental health setting. Anecdotally staff are so pleased with this product. It allows an amazingly fast and dignified response to a fallen patient. Once the usual protocols are followed and the patient is cleared to be stood or sat up, it is so quick and easy to use.

  Its simple colour-coded systems allows for an easy quick assembly, it allows for a much more dignified operation as compared to hoisting, without the complication of choosing and fitting the correct sling and it can be used in small spaces where the hoist is difficult to access.

  With its remote control option, the number of staff needed can be reduced to one with an individual risk assessment, though we recommend two for our staff as there is a need to support the head and a two person assist makes for a more patient-centred operation.

  An amazing product empowering staff to act with confidence, which transfers to patient confidence and reducing anxiety. Having the bonus of stopping at any stage to allow patients to harmonize themselves to their surroundings or stay sitting whilst extra observations can be ascertained is advantageous for all.

  Once stabilised the patient can be raised into a perching position for easy exit and mobilised to a suitable alternative seating or bed space.

  Absolutely brilliant, as it can be used in physiotherapy to lower a patient to the floor on a mat for rehabilitation. As an ex-engineer I just wish I had designed it!!! Thank you for supplying such an innovative product.”
