Our padded toilet back support system protects residents in nursing homes and hospitals from injuries that can be incurred when falling into unprotected toilet pipes and flush valves.


Here's something to worry about.

Twenty percent of all insurance cliams reported in major insurance companies -- that's 1 in every 5 -- are for bathroom falls. These are some of the most expensive claims insurance companies handle. How expensive? On average $36,500 each!

Actually, you don't have to worry about these statistics. You can do something about them. Just install A & E's Toilet Back Support System.

How good is the Toilet Back Support System? Just listen to Carl Brand, Director of Building Services at St. Louis University Medical Center:

"We installed the Back Support in our Gero-Psychiatry Unit toilet rooms. Prior to the installation of the back supports, I received numerous complaints that patients were hurting their backs on the flushometers and piping. Since the installation of the back supports, we have had no reported injuries."

Why does the Back Support work so well? Lots of reasons. It fits individual backs ... has no blunt edges ... prevents fluid entrapment ... is virtually non-absorbent ... and doesn't get in the way of plumbing repairs or maintenance. It's designed to work ... and it does.

If your nurses are using pillows to prop residents on the toilet ... or wrapping the toilet pipes in egg crating ... there's a better way: the A & E Back Support way. Why not ask for more information?

Which makes more sense? Asking for information? Or filing a $36,500 insurance claim?

Upon your request we will send a unit to evaluate for 30 days, without obligation. Quantity discounts available.

NOTE: When requesting information please include your complete mailing address along with a point of contact.

An Affordable Safety Cushion
Constructed of high-quality, chrome-plated steel tubing, each back support unit is cushioned in closed-cell vinyl/nitile rubber foam which is virtually non-absorbent. The vinyl coating completely incapsulates the cushion padding to prevent moisture or bluid entrapment. This limits bacterial growth and simplifies cleaning.

Mounting brackets used to install the back support adjust from 5-9 inches from the wall to allow clearance for most existing facilities. A quick-release feature of back support systems facilitates plumbing repairs and other maintenance without disturbing permanent wall fasteners.

A & E Back Support has demonstrated its ability to withstand 750 load pounds during Load Tests performed by St. Louis Testing Laboratories, an independent testing lab. (Actual test results available upon request.)

Give your residents and patients the support they need and protect yourself from costly injuries and litigation with the A & E Back Support System.
