The Etac Patient Turner - is the aid for care staff who are routinely involved in the moving and handling transfer solutions.

Today, few are unaware of the risks and the economic implications of backs being damaged in repeated heavy lifting and complicated twisting actions. With the Etac Patient Turner an ergonomically correct working position is achieved when assisting a patient in a transfer from one seated position to another.

The Turner is the aid that is specifically designed to:

1. Reduce the risk of back injuries
2. Reduce the number of carers required in a transfer
3. Reduce the feeling of insecurity for the patient in the transfer
4. Simplify an everyday task

The new Etac Patient Turner has an increased foot plate size, a comfortable and independently adjustable handle and knee-brace height and a slow, smooth rotating action - it exerts a calming influence on the most anxious of patients.

Designed to be used on more able patients
The Turner can be used on a wide range of patients. However, it should only be used on patients who can adequately weightbear and thus stand with support.

Practical use in the community
The new Etac Patient Turner "knocks down" with a simple action for ease of transportation and storage. It has large wheels that run smoothly on any surface, including fitted carpets.

The handle has a stepless height adjustment to suit all heights and the maximum user weight is 150kgs or 24 stones.
