Ablestand Patient Turner and Transfer Aid
Practical, Adjustable and Portable Patient Turner and Transfer Aid by Ablestand.
The Ablestand Patient Turner is ideal if you are a carer and you need assistance to safely transfer your patient to another seat, bed, wheelchair toilet, or commode by standing and turning.
Suitable for users of up to 150kg who can adequately bear their own weight, it allows you to maintain eye contact with their patients and work ergonomically without straining your arms or back.
The height of the Handle and Lower Leg Support can easily be adjusted to suit your patient and yourself, simply by turning the knob anti-clockwise to loose and adjust, and then clockwise to secure.
With two wheels at the back of the patient turner, it can easily be transported between locations simply by placing your foot on the base of the plate and tilting the handle back.
How to Use the Patient Turner:
- Position the user so they are sat in a chair, wheelchair or on the edge of the bed. If the user is sat on a wheelchair, ensure the brakes are applied on the wheelchair and the legrests removed or swung out prior to transfer.
- The carer should position the device so that the user or carer can place the user's feet on the left and right foot symbols on the footplace.
- The carer should position the height of the Lower Leg Support so that the tops of the pad are just below the knees of the user.
- The carer should stand behind the Patient Turner and support/counterbalance it whilst the user uses the handle to support themselves whilst they stand on the footplate, and move from a sitting position to a standing position.
- Once the user has securely reached a standing position, they will be stood and the carer should slowly turn the patient turner using the handle. The Patient Turner can turn 360 degrees. N.B. do NOT tilt or lever the Patient Turner. The whole footplace should remain in contact with the floor at all times.
- Once near the required seat, the user should have their back to the seat and be able to feel the edge of the seat near the back of their legs.
- The carer should steady the devise as previously described. The user can then use the handle turbing as support whilst lowering into the new seat.
