Caster size isn't just a spec, it's an ease and efficiency decision.

Whether you're navigating low-clearance beds, minimizing caregiver strain, or trying to optimize rolling resistance across carpet, the right caster configuration matters.

In our latest Learning Center article, we break down the functional differences between caster sizes across EZ Way’s Smart Lift™, Smart Stand™, and EZ Effort™ lines.

Learn:

· How caster size affects clearance and rolling

· Why EZ Effort casters improve performance without increasing height

· Which caster makes the most sense for your facility’s flooring, patient population, and transfer needs

In acute care, mobility is medicine. Every transfer, every step, every lift brings patients one movement closer to recovery.

That’s why EZ Way ceiling lifts are not just equipment, they’re essential tools in early mobility and rehabilitation. Whether it's easing pressure injuries, reducing caregiver strain, or supporting safe ambulation during physical therapy, these systems are transforming care environments.

Hospitals and rehab facilities need tools that multiply care impact. Investing in overhead lift systems helps ensure safe, consistent mobility, even in the most complex cases.

Learn how we’re helping facilities support early mobility, reduce readmissions, and lift outcomes, one patient at a time. https://www.ezlifts.com/post/reducing-injuries-and-boosting-compliance-with-ceiling-lift-systems

Every time a caregiver manually repositions, turns, or laterally transfers a patient, there's risk:

• Musculoskeletal strain
• Skin shear and pressure injuries
• Compromised dignity and comfort

The right equipment, like SlideMate slidesheets, Gold Rollboards, and BridgeAIR mattresses, can dramatically reduce these risks while supporting consistent, high-quality care.

Let’s shift the standard from simple compliance to culture.

🎸 Say No to Heavy Metal — in the OR, not just your playlist.

Traditional metal rollboards? They’re heavy, bulky, and fatiguing.
⚠️ Hard on staff.
⚠️ Hard to store.
⚠️ Not built for speed.

Meet the Gold Rollboard:
• 75% lighter than metal alternatives
• Compact, easy to store
• Designed for safe, smooth lateral transfers in tight spaces like ORs and EDs
• Non-powered, antimicrobial, and ready when you are

👉 Ditch the heavy metal. Choose Gold.

Honoring Our Veterans: Service, Strength, and Safety

On this Veterans Day, we honor the brave men and women who have served our country with dedication and sacrifice.

At EZ Way, we’re reminded that many of our veterans continue to serve, not just in uniform, but in hospitals, long-term care communities, and therapy settings across the country. Whether as caregivers, patients, or healthcare professionals, their strength and resilience inspire us every day.

In safe patient handling, our mission is to protect both those receiving care and those providing it. We are proud to support facilities, especially those serving veterans, that prioritize dignity, safety, and mobility.

Let today be a reminder that honoring veterans means more than words. It means making every lift, every transfer, and every recovery safer and more dignified, for them and for all.

Thank you, veterans.

Celebrating Nurse Practitioner Week 🩺

We proudly celebrate Nurse Practitioner Week, a time to recognize the critical role NPs play in our healthcare system.

Nurse Practitioners are often on the front lines of care, providing comfort, expertise, and advocacy for patients in hospitals, rehab centers, long-term care communities, and beyond. They don’t just treat illness, they promote dignity, mobility, and independence.

At EZ Way, we’re honored to support the work of Nurse Practitioners by equipping facilities with safe patient handling equipment that reduces injury risk, improves outcomes, and supports early mobility, a key goal for many NP-led care plans.

To every NP driving better care through compassion, expertise, and leadership: thank you. Your dedication moves patients, and our industry, forward.
