BEAR-iatrics, Inc. Develops an Inexpensive Way to Make Patients Feel Secure, Comfortable and Stable During Bariatric Transportation
Designed by CEO Keith, a former Paramedic from Oregon, with the sole purpose of making the transport of bariatric patients easier. After being faced with high cost devices and/or high cost ambulance cots that were often faulty and difficult to use, we decided to develop a more accessible device for bariatric patients. The Bariatric Equalizing Abdominal Restraint (B.E.A.R.) is the most light weight, compact, easy to use, and most of all, the most cost effective unit on the market today. The B.E.A.R. is a strong light weight nylon mesh fabric which is UV resistant, chemical resistant, easy to clean, and easy to store. Though it is all that we claim and very affordable, the B.E.A.R. was solely invented for the safety and comfort of the bariatric patient, and the physical well being of the transport team.
Truly one of a kind, there are many reasons why you should invest in the B.E.A.R.
First, you can help your patient. Our product helps a bariatric patient feel stable, comfortable, and safe. Patient anxiety is reduced, making the transport easier on everyone involved. Second, our product helps the transport team by reducing the risk of injury. With the abdominal mass stabilized relative to the cot, the cot is more maneuverable and less likely to tip. Third, we can help your budget by paying for itself many times over in just one use. Whether it's the loss of revenue from passing the call or not having a Bariatric cot available, you'll save hundreds to thousands of dollars! Last is our proven record. Our product has been field tested in various states, and has generated favorable testimonials.
Operations Manager at Cox Health, Mike Dawson, wrote the following after using the B.E.A.R.,
"Thank you for the opportunity to use the B.E.A.R product in our Ambulance Service. Our EMS crews found the concept intriguing yet practical. So far I have received very good reviews. For one patient, we used to need an LBS booard, which meant our crew had to remove a door to get the patient out, but when we put the B.E.A.R on a Monster Medic cot they were able to move the patient while keeping the door on its hinges. Even crews who haven’t actually used the B.E.A.R. product on a patient want to know if we intend to purchase this B.E.A.R.. I look forward to continued input from our crews concerning real life experiences with the product."
