Description
ThePower Pivot
assists caregivers in transferring injured, elderly, or otherwise physically impaired patients between wheelchairs, seats, and beds. It
provid
es smooth rotation without having to twist or apply force to the user.
Without assistance, this transfer can require an awkward lifting and twisting movement that poses a risk of injury for both caregivers and patients.
The
Power Pivot's
battery powered disk provides the rotational movement, eliminating the need for users to step or twist. A user first stands on the Power Pivot disk, assisted by a caregiver or supported by a walker. While they are standing, the gears on the Power Pivot disk lock it in place to ensure a fixed and stable platform.
When the user is ready, a button on the remote control is held down to rotate the disk in the selected direction to the new position. The remote control button is released to stop motion and lock the disk. A 180-degree transfer takes 7-10 seconds.
The
Power Pivot
is designed for portability. It is compact and weighs only 5 1/2 lbs. It can be taken on trips to facilitate transfers to and from a vehicle or use at another location. The rechargeable battery will power over 50 transfers between charging.
A convenient handle in the base makes the
Power Pivot
easy to carry and store. The handle can be used to hang the
Power Pivot
on a wheelchair arm or wall hook. The Power Pivot is also equipped with anti-skid pads on the top disk to help users stand securely and on the bottom base to prevent sliding on smooth floors.
The
Power Pivot’s
base and 16” standing disk are sized to fit inside standard walker legs or wheels. This enables a walker to be used to assist standing and sitting and for support throughout the transfer. The low profile platform is ½” thick.
Disk rotation is driven by a Li-Ion battery and motor, similar ones used in handheld drills and drivers. This is proven safe and reliable technology used worldwide in millions of portable power tools.
Each Power Pivot is built to order and individually named. Power pivots can be personalized with a name of your choice. Please contact us to request a unique name for your Power Pivot.
