Barton

Our Company

We are on a mission to offer the most comprehensive portfolio of Safe Patient Handling equipment available. Our products are designed to protect patients and healthcare workers alike by providing safe and efficient patient handling solutions. 

DID YOU KNOW?

Each day, more than 9000 of our nation's health care workers sustain a disabling injury while moving a patient. 65% of orthopedic nurses and 58% of ICU nurses will develop debilitating back injuries, ending their careers. Over the past 25 years, there has been a dramatic increase in obesity throughout our nation. Caring for obese patients pose numerous hazards for health care personnel. Direct and indirect costs associated with caregiver back injuries reach as high as $25 billion annually.

That’s where WE come in…

Safe Patient Handling is the term referring to policies and programs that allow healthcare personnel to move and transfer patients in a way that does not cause repeated strain or injury.

Plus, research shows that facilities who use our equipment also reduce worker compensation claims, increase retention of valuable employees, increase productivity, and create a more positive patient experience.

Bottom line? We hope to help you prepare for the future needs of healthcare.
