Sara Stedy Patient Transfer Aid by ArjoHuntleigh (FULLY ASSEMBLED)

The Sara Stedy is a simple, intuitive patient transfer aid designed to allow a single caregiver to smoothly and easily transition patients with varying levels of ability. The manual design has no electrical components and therefore doesn't need to be charged, meaning the Stedy is always at the ready. Ergonomically curved handles provide a comfortable grip for caregivers to guide the Stedy up to the patient and from room to room. Two simple foot switches operate the width-adjustable chassis, accommodating everything from wheelchairs to toilets. The low clearance is designed to slide smoothly under even low-sitting beds, and the foot-operated wheel locks ensure that the Stedy remains reliably stationary when getting patients onto and off of the said.

The seat of the Sara Stedy has a unique, innovative swivel design. Two panels, both ergonomically curved to comfortably accommodate the tailbone, twist entirely out of the way of the patient and feature integrated handhold depressions so caregivers can easily grasp the panel. Once the patient is standing on the Stedy, the seat panels can be returned to their original positions and the patient can lower down to an angled seated position. The knee panel is similarly designed to accommodate the shins and kneecaps, providing comfortable but steady resistance that patients can use to help them transition from sitting to standing and vice versa. A convenient crossbar handle provides a support for patients to hold on to for their comfort, and also assists them as they sit or stand. The foot plate that patients rest their weight on is textured for optimal traction and to prevent slipping.

In addition to patient transfers and tasks such as toileting, the Sara Stedy can also be used as a rehabilitative or therapeutic device to help patients recover or develop the muscle strength and coordination required to stand and sit down on their own. The knee panel and crossbar handle provide them with the stable assistance they need, and, under the close supervision of a caregiver, they can practice the movements required to lift up and lower down.
