Product Information

The SafetySure Transfer Pivot Disc is a transfer aid for users with limited mobility. People who are able to stand but cannot readily move their legs will find the rotating disc helps make transferring easier. Adjustable height beds can be powered manually or electrically. Manually operated beds usually have a hydraulic mechanism that raises and lowers the bed. This movement may feel jerky as the bed rises. The control is often a foot pump at the side of the bed. It cannot be operated by the user. A semi-standing aid, perhaps combined with a sling enables a user to be transferred and lowered onto a toilet more easily than using a conventional hoist, provided they are able to weight-bear sufficiently. Disk Write Caching is a feature that improves system performance by enabling write caching on the device. It is a feature, which is available on almost all disk drives these days. The benefit of Disk Write Caching is that it allows applications to run faster by allowing them to proceed without waiting for data write requests to be written to the disk. If a person is able to bear some of their own weight for a short amount of time, there are various products to assist in transferring between bed, chair and toilet, for example, to move short distances, or to stand in a supported manner. As with any equipment used to move a person, careful professional assessment of the individual situation is required, to ensure that the most suitable choice is made.

Many of the solid discs use ball bearings in the swivel mechanism, which may result in fast turning that can be difficult to control. However, this may be useful when a heavier person is moving, as their weight sometimes prohibits discs without ball bearings from turning on one another.

ensure the bed rail is suitable for the size of the occupant. Standard bed rails usually suit someone over the size of an average 12-year-old and are unsuitable for a smaller adult, young child or baby; An individual with impaired mobility from paralysis or limited upper body functions can use the SafetySure Transfer Pivot Disc unassisted in a very efficient way. If the patient cannot use his/her upper extremities a helper will be needed. For maximum support and safety for both the patient and the helper, we recommend that either a transfer belt or sling be used in conjunction with the SafetySure Transfer Pivot Disc. bed rails should never be used to restrain a person who may attempt to climb over them. They risk falling from a greater height; because most inclinators do not have a knee break there is a risk the person may slip down the bed as soon as he/she sits up or later after a period of sitting. Three- or four-sectioned variable posture beds have the option to raise the person's knees to help prevent this happening; The bulletin recommends that alternative methods of bed care/management should be considered first, such as:

Mobility level: Assess the individual's mobility and the extent of assistance they require. Some lifting aids are better suited for those with limited mobility or weight-bearing ability. Many adjustable height beds do not stop automatically if there is an object underneath and there is a risk of entrapment. Combining a wheeled transporter with a turntable platform, these transfer aids offer an ideal solution where space is at a premium and where the client can adequately weight-bear. Lifting poles (or pull handles) are designed to make moving around, moving into semi-lying positions or getting in and out of bed easier. The majority have a floor standing cantilever gantry, although some are wall- or bed-attached. If freestanding, care should be taken to ensure that the base is positioned properly under the bed, otherwise the gantry frame may tip over. A handle hangs from the gantry and, when adjusted to a suitable height, some people with enough strength can pull on it safely. The user does need to have fairly strong upper limbs and good abdominal control. Sometimes it is regarded as home nursing equipment, i.e. that which a community nurse considers necessary to help him or her carry out nursing duties effectively. Examples of items that may be supplied by the community nurse are:It is advisable to seek independent advice before buying bed accessories or buying a special bed.

Whether you or a loved one require support getting in and out of bed or the bath, a hoist is a suitable solution to make life a little easier. You may recently have undergone surgery and need support in your daily life, or live with mobility issues day-to-day. A comfortable hoist is an ideal piece of equipment to help you, along with the support of a caregiver. Hoists for elderly people The aim of this factsheet is to provide information about accessories for standard beds and beds with special features that are available to help people with specific difficulties or their carers. These difficulties may include getting in and out of bed, turning over, sitting up and generally getting comfortable in bed. Comfort and sleeping well are essential not only for the well-being of a person, but also because, for some people, they may mean the difference between being able or unable to carry out activities independently. If you are experiencing difficulty with any of the activities mentioned above, you may benefit from an assessment by a physiotherapist or occupational therapist. Sometimes a change in the way you carry out an activity or a different technique may help you to manage independently instead of using equipment. A small mobile hoist can be used for many handling tasks in and around the home. With the wide range of slings available, it can cater for many different needs and abilities. If a person is unable to take any of their weight through their legs, advice should ALWAYS be sought from a therapist as to the safest method of assisting or moving them out of bed. Most people are not strong enough to lift someone (including many children) from the bed onto a chair/wheelchair/commode. Equipment which will do the lifting instead is available or sometimes the person may be able to slide across. manually operated beds are controlled by a foot-operated gas-assisted mechanism, a lever or winding mechanism or a ratchet system. The carer can find all of these quite hard work and the user cannot control the adjustment.those with a powered mechanism are usually controlled with a handset. Although powered by a motor, most are quiet or almost silent; A pivot transfer disc like the SafetySure Pivot Disc is a useful device when you&rsquore strong enough to stand but unable to pivot to the side to perform the transfer. With a transfer disc in place on the floor a caregiver helps the seated patient place their feet on the disc then provides support as he or she stands on it. A transfer disc can be turned up to 90 degrees enabling you to reach and sit on the target surface such as a wheelchair. A handling belt worn by the person can make it easier for a carer to help guide him/her around in a semi-standing position or across the board. Lifting poles are not usually suitable for people with painful arms, painful shoulders, limited overhead shoulder movement or abdominal weakness. ensure that there is enough room for the base to slide under a divan bed and, where possible, fasten it to the bed headboard for greater stability;

Some companies have a double bed option. Usually this comprises two single beds placed close together (one or both with the profiling option). If needed, ensure the beds will separate easily, e.g. for carers to assist from both sides, and/or there is sufficient clearance underneath, e.g. for the legs of a portable hoist.Yes, disk write caching can improve performance. This is because when it is enabled, the computer uses volatile memory (RAM) to collect the write commands being sent to the storage device by the user. Because caching is enabled, the computer stores them temporarily until they are written to the storage device. There are no global rules for the use of transfer aids, Fay. The idea is that any transfers are the subject of a risk assessment beforehand, taking into account the design of the equipment, the environment it is being used in, whether or not the user can contribute to the process, the training of care staff, etc. Unfortunately, some agencies just seem to arbitrarily ban their staff from undertaking some transfers, using some pieces of equipment… so you have a ridiculous situation where family members are carrying out procedures quite safely and comfortably, which paid carers refuse to do. Patient transfer boards come in a variety of shapes and lengths. For transfers across a larger gap such as between a wheelchair and a car seat a long transfer board may be needed. If the gap is shorter such as between a chair and a toilet seat or bed a smaller transfer board should be enough. There are also specially designed wheelchair transfer boards that may be curved or notched to make getting in and out of a wheelchair easier. Measure the typical distance of your transfers to buy the right length patient transfer board for your needs.
