The Vivax Mobility System consists of a specially designed electric (hospital type) bed and wheelchair. It can transfer a patient comfortably, safely, and essentially automatically to and from a supine position in bed and a seated position in a wheelchair. This entire procedure is accomplished gently and effortlessly with a push of a button located on a hand-held pendant. For added convenience, the wheelchair may easily be converted for use as a commode at bedside or over a toilet. The control pendant may be activated for use by either patient or attendant.
