We know that preventing falls and protecting the safety of your residents is a top priority. Despite this, every year thousands of residents suffer falls and subsequent injuries while attempting to get in or out of a wheelchair that is not properly secured. Restraints are not an option and your staff can’t be everywhere. That’s where we can help can help prevent falls.

Safer Automatic Wheelchair Wheel Locks is committed to preventing falls while protecting and enhancing the safety of our elders. Our patented wheelchair wheel locking system can be an integral part of a fall prevention solution by keeping your residents “safer”. Combined with a program of overall fitness and rehabilitation, advancements in technology such as the Safer Automatic Wheelchair Wheel Lock can help by keeping a wheelchair from rolling away when your resident tries to get up from or sit in a wheelchair with the manual brakes disengaged. Please view the video “How the Safer Wheel Lock Works” to see for yourself.
