Turner PRO – intended use

Turner Pro is a sit-to-stand transfer aid that makes it easier for a carer to help a user to stand and transfer him/her to another sitting position. Users must be able to grip and pull up their own body weight, but still require support/help to stand up and be turned. The purpose is to transfer a person from/to bed, chair, wheelchair or toilet. The Turner PRO is lightweight and easy to move around. The Turner PRO should only be used indoor on flat surfaces.
