What is Integral assist?
Our Integral assist is a motorised castor that adds powered push, precise steering and safe braking to hospital and care beds. Integral assist is also sold as a complete WeAssist™ system. WeAssist™ is a joint trademark of LINAK and TENTE. The system consists of several components. The castors, Integral and Integral assist, are provided by TENTE. The battery and control unit are provided by LINAK.
What is WeAssist™?
WeAssist is an innovative mobility solution that allows nurses to move a hospital bed from A to B noticeably easier without the help of a second person. The system registers the impulses that the user gives with their hands on the bed and provides the necessary support for almost every driving manoeuvre thanks to intelligent software and the TENTE Integral Assist castor. Basically, similar to an e-bike:
The nurse starts a movement – and WeAssist provides the appropriate support. The mobility solution makes it easier to drive off and slow down. It helps you drive straights and makes it easier to manoeuvre corners. It is also a boost if the nurse wants to cope with a gradient. On gradients, it takes out the speed and absorbs the heavy weight of the bed. In other words: Whenever help is needed, it offers exactly the support that a second person would provide in bed and patient transport.
Another decisive plus: The nurse simply stands by the bed and gets started. Prior knowledge or introductory training? Not needed! The operation is completely intuitive. True to the motto: Easy going.
What benefits does WeAssist™ offer?
Intuitive operation - No training, no barriers: WeAssist™ is instantly understandable
The WeAssist™ system impresses with its completely intuitive operation. Caregivers can get started right away without prior instruction – the system automatically detects movement impulses and supports every maneuver.
More time for patient-oriented activities - Improved care for patients
Thanks to WeAssist™, caregivers don’t have to spend most of their time on manoeuvring the hospital beds. This way, patients get more attention – and the rest they need so urgently.

Reduction of physical stress - WeAssist™ improves ergonomics
Thanks to the support of the WeAssist™ system, moving a hospital bed goes easy on your muscles and joints. The mobility solution prevents incorrect posture and enables patient transport that is gentle on the back and saves energy.
Optimised work processes - Maximizes resource efficiency
More than just a technical tool, WeAssist™ is a strategic contribution to relieving the burden on caregivers, increasing efficiency and saving costs.
Easy retrofitting & reduced costs - Integrate into existing beds
The WeAssist™ system consists of three elements that can be easily and cost-effectively integrated into existing bed systems: the LINAK control unit, the TENTE Integral assist castor and the LINAK Li-Ion battery with integrated charger.

WeAssist™ was created for strict hygiene standards
Hygiene plays a decisive role in hospital castors. Our castors and wheels therefore meet the strictest hygiene standards without compromise. The WeAssist system has been specially developed for frequent cleaning in car washes. Of course, we support our healthcare customers with a wide range of other mobility solutions that offer long-term washability, extreme durability and traceless movement.
To effectively prevent rust and corrosion, all metal components of our permanently washable castors and wheels are made of stainless steel. In addition, many of our developments rely on hydrolysis-resistant materials that maintain their properties and function even after prolonged exposure to water and, thanks to their excellent properties, help to reduce the formation of potentially harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi and other pathological germs.
Another solution from our portfolio to help maintain hygiene standards: non-marking wheels with reduced abrasion. They leave less residue on floors and are an important building block to avoid cross-contamination between different areas.
WeAssist™ won the Red Dot Award for product design 2025
Our pioneering spirit and our courage to change have been rewarded: With WeAssist, we have developed an innovative castor system that sets new standards in bed and patient transport – and has now been distinguished!
The Red Dot design Award is one of the world’s most important design competitions. In the Product Design category, the best industrially manufactured products are chosen every year.
And in 2025, WeAssist joined the club! First presented to a broad audience at MEDICA in Düsseldorf at the end of 2024, our mobility solution is already on its way to becoming a great success.
