According to the CDC, over 230,000 nonfatal bathroom injuries occurred among individuals aged 15 and over in only one year. In this study, fall risk at or near the toilet increased exponentially with age. As mobility reduces and age increases, safety and independence with toileting become increasingly challenging, putting both patients and caregivers at risk. Enter the EZ Lift Assist, a unique medical device created for individuals with mobility dysfunction to facilitate ease and independence with bathroom and toilet transfers.
The EZLift Assist is ideal for many patient populations, including those who are bedridden, have difficulty with standing and walking, and individuals with weight-bearing restrictions. The sensibly designed product allows for seamless transfer from a chair or bed to the toilet with no weight bearing required and little to no manual effort by the caregiver.
Maintaining independence and privacy while toileting is key to improving quality of life and overall confidence. The EZLift Assist does just that by allowing the user to independently control the device in the bathroom. After the caregiver positions the individual over the toilet, the user can seamlessly maneuver the device up and down and remove pants to complete toileting. The seat latches around the patient prior to transfer and provides stability and an open center to allow for seated toileting.
With a compact frame and 360-degree rotating casters, the EZLift Assist offers optimal maneuverability. The frame measures only 25 inches wide, allowing smooth mobility through bathroom doors. In addition, the rotating casters augment the mobility giving flexible multi-directional movement where you need it most.
As awareness grows of the relationship between environmental cleanliness and infection control, the prevalence of easy-to-clean medical devices is increasing. In the healthcare setting, the term easy-to-clean refers to its ability to withstand harsh chemicals (e.g. bleach), be non-porous and allow easy access to all components. The EZLift Assist checks all the boxes of safe and efficient cleaning to protect you and your loved ones.
When considering durable medical equipment, durable is the keyword. The EZLift Assist offers stability when needed most and backs up its device with a lifetime warranty on the frame and a 3-year warranty on the battery pack.
The EZLift Assist is anti-slip and rubber-coated footrests for the user’s comfort and stability. Locking casters and an “EZ latch” system contribute to a sturdy and sound design. Direction up/down buttons provide streamlined height adjustment for bed, chair, and toilet height variations.
A lithium-ion battery powers the device providing 12-15 days of use per charge. The long-lasting reliability gives you peace of mind to know your device is ready to go when you are.
An additional feature of this product is its adaptability. With the optional accessory package, you can easily convert the toilet assist chair into an activity chair with a tray, full seat cushion and carry bag. Promote increased time spent upright without having to battle multiple transfers or the risk of falling.
“My mother fell 9 months ago while transferring to the toilet and I have since been terrified to help her with toileting. Her therapist recommended the EZ Lift Assist to get her safely to the bathroom and preserve her independence. I am forever grateful she suggested this device.”

“I have repeatedly strained my back trying to help my husband to and from the toilet. The EZ Lift Assist has changed our lives and made transfers from the bed to the bathroom exponentially easier. I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with mobility and safety in the bathroom.”

“I recently fractured my hip and am on strict non-weight-bearing precautions for 2 months. My caregiver couldn’t continue to transfer me to the toilet so we found this device which has made getting to the toilet so much easier. I opted to purchase the accessory package so I can use it as an activity chair when out of bed.”
