Company Overview
Safe Patient Solutions, LLC, manufactures the ResQUp and wholesales the ResQUp to durable medical equipment suppliers, eCommerce retailers, and retail outlets who serve the end-user retail market. We drop ship to retail customers of ecommerce distributors and health care facilities, including the Veterans Administration in all 50 states and US territories.
The ResQUp is a novel fall recovery and mobility aid that complements established fall management programs in rehabilitation centers, hospitals/clinics, adult care facilities, and especially in-home settings. Our product focus is on wheelchair users who need a wide variety of tools to assist in daily living activities. Getting down to, and up from, the floor safely using no or minimal assistance from a caregiver is an important extension to a wheelchair user’s mobility.
Please contact us to inquire about becoming a distributor for the ResQUp in your market, domestically or internationally.

Product Differentiators
​
​
A fallen person uses the ResQUp by moving from the floor to each level of the device in turn, before finally ascending to a seat height, a wheelchair, or standing up directly from a seated position on the top level to a walker, rollator, or other patient assist. Any of the following three methods may be used safely.
​​​​​​​​​​​​
Methods of Use Instructions
Backwards
-
This method has the fallen person back up to the ResQUp and scoot up to each level, placing their hands on the padded handles to lift themselves up to wheelchair level with or without the use of their legs for strength
-
This method requires more upper body strength than the other methods
Sideways
-
The fallen person turns to their strongest side and uses their elbows and at least one leg to push themselves up to each level of the ResQUp in turn, and then transfer to wheelchair or seat
-
This method requires some leg strength and less upper body strength than the other methods
Forwards
-
The fallen person moves forward up each level of the ResQUp, using the padded handles at each stage for maximum stability and balance
-
This requires putting more pressure on the hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, and knees but feels more natural for some users

​The ResQUp, like other mobile lifts, should be cleaned regularly. We recommend that the urethane pads and all composite surfaces on the ResQUp be cleansed using medical- grade antiseptic soap and water. Mild disinfectants such as 70% - 90% alcohol, a 1:100 dilution of bleach in water, disinfectant wipes, and quaternary ammonium germicidal detergents may also be used. Do not use strongly acidic or basic solutions, phenol- based disinfectants, or organic solvents on any part of the ResQUp.
​
