1. What does Raz Design Inc. specialize in?
Raz Design Inc. specializes in designing and manufacturing high-quality, prescribable mobile shower commode chairs, tub sliders, and accessible bathing and toileting systems. Our products are engineered for healthcare professionals, caregivers, and users who require safe, highly configurable, and comfortable bathroom mobility solutions.
2. What standard features are included on Raz mobile shower commode chairs?
All Raz mobile shower commode chairs are built for durability and comfort. Standard features include rust-resistant stainless-steel frames, adjustable-tension back upholstery, dual-locking casters for safety, flip-up padded armrests for easy transfers, and a soft, molded commode seat.
3. What is the Ischial & Pelvic Alignment System (IPAS)?
The Ischial & Pelvic Alignment System (IPAS) is an exclusive seating technology developed by Raz Design. It allows the commode seat to be adjusted to properly align with the user’s pelvis. This system provides optimal postural support, maximizes comfort, and aids in vital pressure reduction.
4. Does Raz Design offer bariatric shower commode chairs?
Yes, Raz Design manufactures a complete line of heavy-duty bariatric models specifically designed to safely accommodate bariatric patients. These include the Raz-AT600 (Attendant Tilt), Raz-AP600 (Attendant Propel), and Raz-SP600 (Self-Propel).
5. What is the Trakz Tub Slider System?
The Trakz Tub Slider is an innovative bathing solution that allows a user to be safely transferred and showered over an existing standard bathtub, completely eliminating the need for expensive roll-in shower bathroom renovations. The system consists of a rolling mobility base, a stationary tub base, and an interlocking bridge for seamless sliding.
6. Are Raz shower commode chair frames resistant to rust?
Yes. Because our chairs are utilized in wet, high-moisture environments, all standard Raz mobile shower commode chairs are constructed with high-quality stainless-steel frames, making them incredibly durable and resistant to rust and corrosion.
7. Can Raz shower commode chairs be customized for specific patient needs?
Absolutely. Raz offers a vast array of accessories and options to configure a chair for unique postural and functional needs. If a standard configuration or accessory does not meet a highly complex care requirement, Raz Design can custom-manufacture frames, seats, and components to ensure the perfect fit.
8. What is the Raze bathroom aid?
The Raze by Raz Design is a highly versatile, multi-purpose bathroom aid. It features a compact aluminum frame with tool-less assembly and multi-position rotating legs. Depending on your needs, the Raze can be configured as a raised toilet seat, a step-in shower seat, a transfer tub bench, or a shower bench.
9. What is the difference between Attendant Propel (AP) and Self-Propel (SP) models?
Attendant Propel (AP) models (like the Raz-AP) feature four smaller casters and are designed to be pushed and maneuvered by a caregiver. Self-Propel (SP) models (like the Raz-SP) are equipped with large rear wheels, empowering the user to independently propel and navigate the chair themselves.
10. What tilt-in-space options does Raz Design provide?
To accommodate users with varying postural and pressure-relief needs, Raz offers several tilting shower chairs. Our lineup includes the standard Raz-AT (Attendant Tilt), the Raz-ART (Attendant Rotational Tilt) for enhanced maneuverability, and the Raz-CAT (Compact Attendant Tilt) for smaller spaces and users.
11. What is the Raz-CAT model?
The Raz-CAT (Compact Attendant Tilt) is a specialized, smaller-footprint mobile shower commode chair. It delivers all the tilting benefits of our standard chairs but is specifically designed for pediatric users, smaller adults, or homes with tight bathroom environments.
12. Are the armrests on Raz shower chairs designed for easy transfers?
Yes, flip-up padded armrests come standard across our mobile shower commode chairs. This flip-up functionality gives users and caregivers clear side and front access, facilitating much safer and easier lateral or stand-pivot transfers.
13. Does Raz Design offer a travel-friendly folding shower chair?
Yes. For users who need high-quality positioning while traveling, we offer the Züm-AP (Attendant Propel) and Züm-SP(Self-Propel) folding models. Both models are available with an optional travel kit, making them highly portable without sacrificing user comfort.
