Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare launches Rise Sit to Stand Aid to encourage active user participation
body contact with the user.
Mobility equipment supplier Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare has introduced the first in its new range of moving and handling products, the Rise Sit to Stand Aid.
The Rise is an active sit to stand aid and has been designed to provide safe ease of use when carrying out any moving and handling tasks such as standing, transferring and toileting a user. It is designed for users with some weight bearing ability whilst needing assistance with standing and transferring.
Jane Kent, Patient Room International Category Manager, commented: “We wanted to ensure we developed a product that benefited the user and the carer equally and with the Rise we believe we have achieved this and is a fantastic addition to the range. It can be used in acute, community and long-term care environments and with a high safe working load of 204kg it accommodates many users.”
The Rise facilitates single-handed care whilst ensuring the carer is able to maintain close body contact with the user in order to provide a sense of security and stability. It is designed to encourage active user participation to maintain independence, and with the footplate removed it may also assist with rehabilitation, enabling the user to be supported whilst walking.
The base of the Rise features easy roll castors that allow for easy manoeuvrability over a variety of floor surfaces as well as electrically adjustable legs to open and close to fit around or under commodes, shower chairs, recliners, wheelchairs and beds.
With a soft, padded, height adjustable leg support, padded hand grips and a range of compatible slings, the Rise offers a comfortable and safe solution to build users confidence.
Jane Kent added: “The Rise Sit to Stand is the first in a series of new moving and handling products, and we’re looking forward to introducing the rest of the range across 2023!”
