Sizewise
Sizewise began pioneering specialty hospital equipment back in 1996, and we’re proud to have led the way with several industry firsts. With many bed frame options, countless support surfaces, and patented mobility equipment, we have the depth and breadth of product that a facility needs to ensure the full spectrum of patient care.

Made in the USA
We manufacture all equipment in the United States, at facilities in Kansas, Texas, and California. Being made in the USA is more than just good business—it makes for quality products. In healthcare, more than any other industry, clinicians need to count on quality, reliability, and proven outcomes. And because we believe American-made products are superior, we offer some of the most durable warranties in the industry.

Green Initiatives
We work hard to establish environmentally conscious manufacturing practices. Our Green Policy includes:
- Cardboard – We recycle all cardboard and purchase recycled cardboard for shipping needs.
- Cleaning – We've switched our metal cleaning process from phosphate cleaning to a coating process, which has less environmental impact.
- Gas Usage – We reduced gas used to heat cleaning tanks by lowering the temperature for one tank and eliminating heat entirely for another.
- Green Products – Our Envy™ line of specialty surfaces are free of carcinogens, latex, mercury, PBTs, and reproductive toxins.
- Healthier Hospitals Challenge – Several of our products meet (or exceed!) the Healthier Hospitals Safer Chemicals Challenge guidelines.
- Infection Control – Our new process cuts our chemical usage by 75% and water consumption by 45%.
- Lighting – We replaced all lighting within our 200,000+ sq. ft. manufacturing space with more energy-efficient lighting.
- Paint – Our paint shop switched from aerosolized painting to a powder coating process.
- Plastics – We use a blend of virgin and recycled plastic for all molded parts.
- Steel – All steel runoff is sent to a company certified in recycling.
- Water – Our Hays, KS manufacturing facility reduced water consumption by 8x by utilizing well water instead of treated city water, which reduced energy usage and helping us re-use and recycle water in the process.
