Product Description:
A patient turner or patient transfer aid is a piece of equipment that allows a carer to help a patient to go from a sit-to-stand-to-sit in the same place with a turn from one seat to the next. It is used in the moving and handling process to safely assist patients in moving from a bed, chair or wheelchair to stand and then sit on an alternate seat. It makes the movement easier for the carer and more dignified and comfortable for the patient.
