Traditional wheelchairs require constant manual effort, leading to staff fatigue, increased injury risks, and inefficient
patient transport. Patients, especially those requiring frequent movement, often experience discomfort, pressure
injuries, and instability in rigid-framed chairs. The Powered Drive Transport Chair is designed to address these
challenges, combining intelligent power-assisted movement with ergonomic design. This innovation reduces manual
handling risks for staff while ensuring patients are transported safely and comfortably.

Transport Chair
Patient transport remains a significant challenge for healthcare facilities,
impacting staff well-being and patient comfort. Staff often experience fatigue
and musculoskeletal injuries from manually pushing patients in traditional
wheelchairs and transport chairs. Patients who require frequent transport can
experience discomfort and shear injuries due to improper seating and prolonged
time in rigid-framed wheelchairs. Our solution is a Contour Energy Transport Chair
with an intelligent power-assisted system.

What challenges are faced daily by hospital staff?
Hospitals face several challenges with standard wheelchairs and transport chairs, including staff injury
and fatigue, limited mobility for heavier patients, patient pressure-related injuries and discomfort, and
difficult navigation in tight spaces and up ramps. Staff experience strain and workplace injuries from
manually pushing heavier patients, while traditional wheelchairs, often limited to 100–150kg, restrict
patient mobility. Prolonged wheelchair use leads to discomfort and pressure-related injuries, and
navigating hospital spaces and ramps proves challenging, especially when managing multiple patients.
