Detailed Overview
Ergonomic Caregiving
The primary challenge of assisted bathing is the physical strain it puts on the caregiver. The Timo Hi-Lo features a smooth, quiet electric motor that raises and lowers the stretcher at the touch of a button. This allows the caregiver to adjust the platform to their exact hip height, significantly reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injuries while ensuring they can maintain close contact with the user.
Safe and Durable for Wet Environments
Built to withstand the rigors of a daily wet room or "Changing Places" environment, the Timo stretcher is constructed from high-quality stainless steel and powder-coated aluminum. The stretcher bed consists of a comfortable, waterproof PVC liner that is non-porous and highly resistant to cleaning chemicals, ensuring that infection control is simple and efficient.
Intelligent Water Management
Unlike basic mesh stretchers that can leave the floor soaking wet, the Timo Hi-Lo features an integrated water collection tray located beneath the padded liner. This tray captures the shower water and directs it through a flexible waste hose into the floor drain or a nearby outlet, keeping the caregiver dry and the bathroom floor much safer.
Discreet and Unobtrusive
When the bathing or changing routine is finished, the stretcher can be folded up flat against the wall and securely locked. This makes it an ideal solution for multi-use family bathrooms or professional facilities where floor space needs to be kept clear for wheelchair maneuvering or other equipment.
