The Titan Swivel combines elegance, durability, safety, and mobility to bring you a solution that finally makes it possible both for caregivers to easily transport a person and for that person to experience increased independence and self-esteem.
The Titan Swivel is perfect for people using a walker or rollator, extending their independence by allowing them to seat themselves.
With the seat rotated 90° from the table, a person using a walker can come along side the chair, hold onto the arms of the chair to gain stability, and gently lower themselves onto the chair. Once seated, the seat can be rotated back into alignment with the table, at which time a caregiver can move them forward to the table using the Royal EZ component of the chair.

Caregivers appreciate the ease with which the Titan Swivel enables them to seat a walker user and move them to and from the table.
If a walker user doesn’t have enough strength to move themselves to a table using a conventional chair, the Titan Swivel is the answer. The Titan Swivel seat rotates 90º, allowing the user to turn it to face them, sit down, then return it to its original position facing the table.

Even though the Butterfly Wheelchair Accessible Table is versatile enough for any applications needing different tables heights, we designed it specifically for individuals in wheelchairs. Our design allows more users to enjoy a meal without any inconvenience to others.
However, it’s not just a wheelchair table. Because the table can adapt specific to each guest, you can seat people with varying needs at the same table. Friends and family can sit at the same table, regardless of their assistive needs.

In 2013, ComforTek’s Royal EZ won Medtrade’s Innovative HME Retail Product Award. ComforTek President Randy Schellenberg, in speaking of the RoyalEZ, said:
“It addresses a very real issue—how to accommodate mobility challenged people—while providing respect and dignity. Medtrade attendees will like the ease of application and price point.”
What is the Royal EZ?
The Royal EZ system includes casters mounted onto a suspended leverage bar. The leverage bar is fastened to the front legs of the chair. Casters are also fastened to the rear legs of the chair (friction fit).
By depressing the foot pedal, the suspended casters come in contact with the floor, thereby lifting the front legs of the chair ever so slightly from the floor. With the foot pedal depressed by the caregiver, the chair can now be moved forwards and backwards. When the foot pedal is released, the front legs of the chair are lowered, the casters are suspended, and the chair is once again firmly positioned on the floor.
