Transfer Pivot
Disc
Available in 13", 15" and 18" diameters
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 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).
