Oxford Switch Patient Turner

Oxford Switch Patient Turner

The Oxford Switch Patient Turner is designed to help a person with reduced mobility, stand from a seated position and enable their transfer from one location to another. Brilliant for a rehabilitation aid, the patient turner actively encourages the service user to participate in the standing process, engaging core muscles whilst being able to improve strength and function. The Oxford Switch Patient Turner slick design provides an adjustable knee pad and padded covers, non-slip base design, carry handle and 4 castors. The versatile and easy to move patient turner provides a safe working load of 180 kg (28 st). 

The Switch has four corner mounted swivel castors, alongside two independently braked, central wheels. This helps distribute the patient’s weight more widely and evenly, ensuring excellent stability and maneuverability. Maintaining a compact footprint, the Switch can be wheeled and stored with ease. For added convenience, it quickly separates into two components for easier onward transportation, for example in the boot of a car. The knee pads are height adjustable between 345 mm - 515 mm to suit a range of patient sizes. They can be independently tilted and/or re-positioned horizontally. Optional padded covers provide additional comfort.

- Standing

- Point to point transfers
