Patient Transfer Aid — Sit-to-Stand Chair 120 kg with 360 Swivel Castors

Regain the freedom to stand up safely with this sit-to-stand transfer chair

The transition from sitting to standing is one of the most challenging movements for seniors and people with reduced mobility. Without proper assistance, the risk of falling is high and the fear of falling can lead to immobility and loss of confidence. This sit-to-stand transfer chair is a medical device designed to make this daily movement safe, whether at home, in nursing homes, or in rehabilitation centres.

With its carbon steel frame supporting up to 120 kg, its 4 braked 360° swivel castors, and its comfortable cushions, it provides the security and confidence needed to regain independence. The 3 adjustable heights allow progressive effort adaptation according to individual capabilities.

👨‍⚕️ An essential tool for family and professional caregivers

Helping a loved one to stand up can endanger the caregiver’s health as much as the person being assisted. Repeated poor posture causes lower back pain and musculoskeletal disorders in caregivers. A poorly executed transfer can lead to a fall with serious consequences. This transfer chair significantly reduces the physical effort required and secures the movement, protecting both the caregiver and the patient.

🏥 Designed for people in post-operative rehabilitation

After hip or knee surgery or a stroke, standing up is often the most dreaded stage of rehabilitation. Fear of pain and falling can block the patient’s progress. The multiple handles offer varied support points according to the level of independence, and the sit-to-stand rocking motion follows a natural lifting pattern without jolts.

👴 Suitable for seniors with Parkinson’s or severe osteoarthritis

Tremors and muscle stiffness associated with Parkinson’s disease make transfer particularly complex. The braked castors ensure absolute stability during movement, eliminating any risk of slipping. The padded armrests offer optimal comfort and reassuring grip for hands weakened by arthritis.
