Dear Customer
Susan Kaiwai here, Co-founder of The Sisus Corporations. My husband Simon and I started Sisus Corporation because of my need for an assistive device in the bathroom. In 1997 I was injured in a car/pedestrian accident which left me disabled and in a wheelchair for 15 months. During my recovery, I experienced various levels of mobility which greatly affected my being able to use the bathroom. My Mom took care of me, often helping me transfer from my wheelchair to the toilet and back, and then from my wheelchair to the shower bench. All these transfers were no small feat especially given the fact that I'm nearly six feet tall! Slippery, hard surfaces in the bathroom are dangerous hazards in the simple daily routine of bathing and toileting. Soon after marrying Simon, we started designing a bathroom transfer system that would combine the functions of a wheelchair, commode, and shower chair. Our intention was to greatly reduce the possibility for accidents in the bathroom by eliminating transfers and creating a barrier free bathroom environment. I am blessed to have recovered fully and enjoy full use of my body and good health. Because of my experience, we want to help others with similar situations or with other conditions that require assistive technology, their caregivers and families, and as a result have created the Bathroom Freedom Series.
Warm Regards
