ment certified in accordance with ISO 9001, ISO

develop the quality and the environmental thinking

Tested and approved products
The assistive devices manufactured by Direct
Healthcare Group are of top-quality and fulfill
established standards for these types of medical-
and healthcare aids. All of our assistive devices
are CE-marked and many are patented. All of our
assistive devices comply with the requirements of
the Medical Devices Directive for Class 1 products
(MDD 93/42/EEC).
Functional materials
ULF™ (Ultra Low Friction) is the registered trade-
mark for Direct Healthcare Group's sliding material
which is used to achieve extremely low friction in,
for example, sliding mats.
Disposable and wipeable materials
facilitate infection control efforts
Direct Healthcare Group's SystemRoMedic™ range
offers an increasing selection of personal transfer
aids for short-term use. Instead of laundering, these
products are discarded after use, when they get
soiled or when the user no longer needs them.
This prevents the spread of multi-resistant and other
types of contagious bacteria.
Our wipeable transfer aids are made from a strong,
safe and comfortable material with a smooth and
soft surface and many practical features.
The surface of the entire product can be cleaned
using disinfectants. In fact, we call this material
"wipeable" but these products can actually be
dipped in water or used in the shower without
getting wet.
SystemRoMedic
is a complete solution for easy transfers. The concept
TM
encompasses four product areas that meet most needs in different transfer situations.
Transfer, between two locations. Positioning, within the same location.
Support, for mobility. Lifting, both manual and mechanical.
