QuickChange Incontinence News and Blog

Urinary incontinence (UI) affects up to 30% of older men, often as a result of conditions like overactive bladder, prostate enlargement, or neurological disorders. This not only disrupts daily routines but significantly complicates personal hygiene. Bathing becomes a particularly high-risk task for elderly males with UI due to mobility challenges, urgency to urinate, and slippery surfaces, all of which increase the likelihood of falls and injuries—the leading cause of ER visits among seniors.

Standing patient lifts, commonly referred to as Hoyer lifts, are essential mechanical devices designed to assist individuals with limited mobility in safely transitioning between positions, such as from a bed to a chair or from a toilet to a wheelchair. These lifts play a critical role in reducing strain on caregivers while ensuring patient safety and comfort.
