The Sara Stedy Compact Patient Transfer Aid from Arjo is a simply intuitive patient transfer aid that's designed to allow a single caregiver to easily transition patients with varying levels of mobility. The aid's design is non-powered, meaning that it can be used anywhere and at anytime without the need for a power source. Curved handles provide a comfortable grip for caregivers, allowing them to navigate the device with ease. (2) foot switches operate the width-adjustable chassis. The low clearance of the chassis is designed to slide smoothly under low-seated furniture; the foot-operated wheel locks ensure that the transfer aid remains stationary during use.
The seat of the Sara Stedy Compact has a progressive swivel design. (2) seat panels flip out of the way, facilitating seat entry/exit and simplifying personal hygiene needs. Once the patient is comfortably in place, the seat panels can be returned to their original positions. The patient can then lower down to an angled seated position for optimal supportive comfort. The knee panel is padded for further comfort and support, providing patients with a stable surface during transfers. A crossbar handle provides a supportive hold for patients that assists them as they sit or stand. The foot plate is textured, helping to eliminate potential slips and falls.
The Sara Stedy Compact can also be used as a rehabilitative or therapeutic device! This transfer aid can be used to help patients develop muscle strength and motor control that's required to sit/stand on their own. Under the close supervision of a caregiver, patients can practice movements that mimic standing from a seated position and vice versa.
