Launching EZ Glide chair at Ambulex

We are at Ambulex tomorrow and on Thursday where we will be launching our new EZ Glide® PowerTraxx™ chair.

Ambulex is the only UK exhibition exclusively targeting ambulances, ambulance support, emergency rescue vehicles and related equipment. We always attend as it attracts visitors from the public and private ambulance fleet managers sectors, senior NHS Trust managers, emergency rescue services, military and international visitors.

At Ferno we have extended our extensive product portfolio with a groundbreaking design for safely moving patients up and down stairs at the touch of a button with the new EZ Glide.

This is the first chair of its kind in the industry. It has multiple uses as a stair chair, evacuation chair or transport chair - capable of maneuvering over kerbs and rough terrain. It comes with powered tracks that deploy easily to eliminate the need for lifting or carrying while ascending or descending stairs, reducing the risk of injury to medical staff.

Patients can be moved up and down stairs safely and the operator has full control at all times; able to slow, stop or even reverse direction at the touch of a button. A patented built-in safety circuit limits downhill speed, even when power has been lost.

The wireless motor controls work in any handle position and each chair comes with a rechargeable removable lithium ion battery which takes only one hour to charge, and which during tests completed 20 flights of stairs with some battery life remaining.

The EZ Glide with PowerTraxx leads the industry with its 227kg weight capacity and large seating area which along with the extending footrest, provides a more comfortable experience for larger patients while the innovative features work with the caregivers to ensure a safer transport for all.

The chair can also be employed to move equipment up and down stairs and a range of accessories are available such as padded headrest and oxygen cylinder holder. For those who already own the original Ferno EZ Glide® a retro-fit kit is available.

If you are going to Ambulex be sure to come and see us at stands U23 and U24.
