Lying to sitting

One of the heaviest transfer situations, both for the user and for the caregiver, is assisting a user during rising from a lying position into a sitting position. In this situation, caregivers frequently both use incorrect working positions and pull/push the user in ways which are neither comfortable nor effective for the transfer. Using suitable assistive devices facilitates the transfer from lying to sitting and makes the situation much more pleasant and convenient for everyone. 

From simple to complex scenarios

Hereunder you will find Handicare's solutions for manual positioning of active and somewhat active users, from simple to more complex scenarios. More information about the different transfer aids and how to use them can be found on the respective product pages.

Combination of devices provides individually adapted solutions 

To create optimal solutions for users with different needs, most assistive devices can be used in combination with one or several other manual transfer aids. The user manual, the movies and the "See also" section at the bottom of the respective product page provide more information and suggestions on combinations.
