Innovative pressure sore relief device
The RaLaR Lift
Innovative Healing Solutions
At RaLaR Lifts, we focus on groundbreaking medical technology. Our unique, patent pending, sacral area pressure reducing device is designed to promote healing and prevent pressure sores, ensuring patient comfort and safety.
Sacral Area Pressure Reduction
RaLaR acts to reduce the pressure in the sacral area by using an innovative mesh design. This mesh allows for pressures far below that of traditional hospital beds or other "pressure reducing" mattresses. Our data show that the pressure is reduced to below 32 mgHg which is the pressure at which blood flow is restricted. This restricted blood flow is the main cause of pressure sores.
"Because ulcerations occur almost exclusively over bony prominences which have been subjected to excessive pressures for varying lengths of time and because ulcerations almost inevitably will heal when pressure is removed, it would appear ischemia caused by supracapillary pressures is one of the primary factors in the production of decubitus ulcers." - Michael Kosiak, MD, pioneer of pressure ulcer research

Patient Autonomy and Reduced Caregiver Intervention
RaLaR empowers patients to take control of their own comfort and positioning throughout the day. With the touch of a button, patients can easily adjust the device to sit up, lie down, or shift to either side—giving them the freedom to manage their own mobility needs without assistance. This enhanced independence fosters a greater sense of dignity and self-determination.
In addition, RaLaR significantly reduces the need for caregiver intervention. Patients can initiate recommended repositioning themselves, or the device is programmed to automatically adjust their position at regular intervals—every 20 minutes—supporting both clinical best practices and patient well-being.
