SafetySure Transfer Pivot Disc

Applications

An individual with impaired mobility from paralysis or limited upper body functions can use the SafetySure Transfer Pivot Disc (SST Pivot Disc) unassisted in a very efficient way.  If the patient cannot use his/her upper extremities a helper will be needed.

When to use the SST Pivot Disc

The SST Pivot Disc is designed for use by patients who are able to stand but cannot readily move their legs.  For maximum support and safety for both the patient and the helper, we recommend that either a SST Belt or a SST Sling be used in conjunction with the SST Pivot Disc.

Primary uses

  • Transfer between a wheelchair and a toilet.

  • Transfer between a chair and a wheelchair.

  • Transfer between a chair or wheelchair and a bed.

Placement of the SST Pivot Disc

The SST Pivot Disc is placed on the floor with the Scan Medical label facing downwards. The patient's feet are to be positioned completely on the disc to facilitate a smooth transfer and reduce back strain on both patient and helper.  The handle of the SST Pivot Disc should be placed facing the patient, to prevent interfering with the feet of the helper.  The helper should place one of his/her feet on the disc to safely monitor and control the transfer.  After using the SST Pivot Disc, it should immediately be removed from the floor to avoid accidents.

Advantages of the SST Pivot Disc

Because of the lightweight and convenient grip handle, the SST Pivot Disc is easy to use and carry.  The SST Pivot Disc is made of three high quality polymer plates, one turning on top of the other. The SST Pivot Disc is also equipped with anti-glide tapes on both sides to prevent slipping on the floor or when a patient is standing on the SST Pivot Disc.

Transfers between a chair and a wheelchair

The disc is "locked" in place when the helper places his/her heel comfortably on the floor and the rest of his/her foot firmly on the plate between the feet of the patient (fig.2).  The patient wears a SST Belt and the helper holds on to the handles while guiding the patient through the transfer.

Transfers between a wheelchair and a toilet

Proper use of the SST Pivot Disc in this situation is identical to above, except it is safer and easier with two helpers, each wearing a SST Belt.  As pictured in the illustration, the helper(s) can use the other, free hand(s) to help undress the patient before placing him/her on the toilet (fig. 1)

Transfer Between a Bed and Wheelchair

Before you move a patient from a bed to a wheelchair, you should make sure that the wheelchair is positioned as close to the bed as possible, with the wheels locked.  (For better control and safety, always have the patient wear a SST Belt (fig. 2).
