The Ablestand Patient Turner by Drive Devilbiss helps a Carer or attendant to transfer a user to another seat, bed, wheelchair, toilet or commode by standing and turning.

The Alerta MoveAssist is a transfer assist unit which makes transfer functions of all types quick and easy, requiring minimal caregiver assistance. The Alerta MoveAssist promotes user engagement and enhances mobility.
Each unit is equipped with a crossbar which users can grasp and pull themself up into a standing position using their own strength. The padded split seats swing out allowing the user to stand up and board the unit. The caregiver then flips the split seats back into place to form a secure and comfortable seat for the user to sit on for the remainder of the transfer.
A user who qualifies to use the Alerta MoveAssist must have enough leg and lower body strength to stand up and remain in the standing/sitting position. Adequate arm strength is required if the user must use the crossbar.
Users who satisfy these criteria and have difficulty walking or present a potential for falling down will find the Alerta MoveAssist a useful and safe transfer device. For users who lack these requirements, a stand aid hoist is recommended.

Once in the raised position the rear seat pads are moved into place to prevent falls and the patient can then be transferred between beds, chairs and toilets etc without the need for a wheelchair.
Suitable for use with clients who have some mobility, but need that little bit of extra help due to reduced leg strength or balance.
