The Israeli-innovated Total Lift Bed is a simple but revolutionary solution that could set a new standard of care in hospitals and rehabilitation centers worldwide.

Made by VitalGo Systems, the patented Total Lift is the only hospital-grade bed that can elevate a patient from a lying to a fully standing position—and all points in between—for treatment and transfer with no lifting required of the caregiver.

Two major companies are now distributing Total Lift in the acute-care and home-care markets in the United States. About 350 of the beds are in use there, with a goal of tripling that amount next year. The product is registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the CE in Europe.

“We have to ramp up production because we are getting approached from all over the world—Germany, the UK, China, Japan and other countries,” says VitalGo President and CEO Ohad Paz.
