Prism Medical Ltd. is a provider of durable medical equipment and related services to the mobility disadvantaged in Canada, the USA and the United Kingdom (UK). Operating since 1996, Prism services the mobility disadvantaged wherever they reside – the home, long-term care facilities or acute care facilities.
Our mission is to save the healthcare system money and improve the quality of life of the mobility disadvantaged and their caregivers by providing superior services and products that most effectively solve the problems related to moving and handling people.
Favorable demographics, increased government funding, and the cost benefits of home care versus institutional care are increasing demand for our core product, ceiling lifts, both fixed and portable.
Ceiling lifts are a mobility aid that transfer immobile people from one position to another such as bed to wheelchair. It has a superior technology to other products used to move and handle people and is considered ‘best practice’ in most jurisdictions. It performs its functions with less risk of injury to the end user and to the caregiver and at a lower cost to the healthcare system.
We also sell other related durable medical equipment within the moving and handling segment through all three main customer channels (homecare, long-term care and acute care facilities).
Prism Medical Ltd. has four main subsidiaries focused on the manufacture, distribution sale installation of lift, transfer and handling devices.
