Lifting/Standing
Detachable Handle
A workplace linen trolley, which is used by several people and stored in a space with a limited height allowance, needed modification to allow an employee with an existing back injury to use the trolley without aggravating her injury. TADVIC designed a detachable handle for a linen trolley that would make it suitable for our client to use but able to be removed from the trolley when others need to use or it or when it was stored away. Hygiene considerations meant the handle had to have as few parts as possible. Ref T8-275
Motorised Standing Aid
A man with muscular dystrophy's condition had changed to the point where he could no longer raise himself to a standing position unaided. He lives independently and wants to maintain that independence. Rising from the toilet seat was seen as the most important place to start. A horizontal motorised lifting bar was mounted immediately in front of the toilet seat. Ref T1/092
Lifting Seat
A man with Muscular Dystrophy was having difficulty in standing up from and sitting down into conventional chairs. He needed a portable device that could lift him into a height from which he could stand up, but also descend down to a normal seat height. The folding stool is comprised of a linear actuator, a scissor lift mechanism, a hand operated battery and a detachable arm-rest. The man is able to raise and lower himself whilst seated by using the hand held control. A small rechargeable battery box, carefully stored underneath the seat, powers the actuator and scissor lift mechanism. T2-005
Spa Lift
A man with paraplegia needed a way of lifting himself up the extra 30cm from his wheelchair to the edge of the spa in his garden. Commercial bath lifters did not lift high enough to reach the spa, so TADVIC designed and built an automated pneumatically-powered lifter that allows the man to transfer from his wheelchair to the spa in safety and comfort.

Lifting Seat for Garden
A lady with Post-polio Syndrome is unable to get up after sitting on the ground to garden. A portable lifting stool was made to enable her to raise herself up independently while gardening. A hydraulic jack located inside the stool provides the lifting force. This is operated by the woman using an external lever. T4-333
