What is Integral assist?
Our Integral assist is a motorized caster 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 casters, 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 much more easily without the help of a second person. The system registers the impulses the user applies with their hands to the bed and provides the necessary support for almost every driving maneuver thanks to intelligent software and the TENTE Integral Assist caster. Basically, similar to an e-bike:
The nurse starts a movement – and WeAssist provides the appropriate support. The mobility solution makes it easier to start moving and slow down. It helps you drive straight and makes it easier to maneuver around corners. It also provides an extra boost if the nurse needs to manage an incline. On inclines, it reduces speed and compensates for 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 key advantage: the nurse simply stands by the bed and gets started. Prior knowledge or introductory training? Not needed. 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 do not have to spend most of their time maneuvering hospital beds. This way, patients receive more attention – and the rest they so urgently need.

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

WeAssist™ was created to meet strict hygiene standards
Hygiene plays a decisive role in hospital casters. That is why our casters and wheels meet the strictest hygiene standards without compromise. The WeAssist system was specially developed for frequent cleaning in car washes. Of course, we also support our healthcare customers with a wide range of other mobility solutions that offer long-term washability, extreme durability, and non-marking movement.
To effectively prevent rust and corrosion, all metal components of our permanently washable casters and wheels are made of stainless steel. In addition, many of our developments rely on hydrolysis-resistant materials that maintain their properties and functionality even after prolonged exposure to water and that, thanks to their outstanding properties, help 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 in preventing 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 caster system that sets new standards in bed and patient transport – and it has now been recognized!
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 selected 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 well on its way to becoming a major success.
