Vivax Medical Corporation was founded
in 1984 to develop an automated system to increase the mobility of bedridden
persons by enabling them or their caregivers to easily perform transference
from a bed to a wheelchair and from a wheelchair back into bed.
 In
1995 the company introduced the Vivax Mobility System primarily oriented
for homecare use. The major intent being that if a person could transfer
themselves between a bed and a wheelchair, this increased mobility would
enable them to stay at home with reduced dependence on a caregiver or avoid
having to go to a long term care facility.
Subsequently, institutions such as acute care and rehabilitation hospitals
and long term care facilities confronted with major issues involved with
patient transfer, positioning and mobility saw the benefits of the Mobility
System. Vivax has consequently developed institutional models to
meet varying needs of those institutions.
Based on the technology incorporated in the Mobility System,
Vivax is expanding into other assistive technologies. Vivax
will continue to develop the Mobility System as a base platform to
not only care for mobility impaired patients lying, sitting, mobility and
toileting needs, but also to enable standing, bathing and rehabilitation with
minimal intervention by caregivers.
In 1997, recognizing the increasing importance of a patient's right
to be free of restraints yet understanding the need to provide patient
safety, Vivax introduced the Soma Safe Enclosure as a far less restrictive
means of providing for a patients welfare. The Soma Safe Enclosure
and Soma Safe Enclosure Bed provide a safe, humane and cost-effective alternative
to caring for a patient that otherwise would need some form of active restraint
or monitoring.
