About the Oxford Switch
The Oxford Switch is an easy to use sit to stand transfer aid. The device is ideal for those with good upper body strength but who still require assistance getting from point A to B.
To begin the patient simply places their feet on the markings on the footplate and press their knees into the angled knee plates. Once the patient feels comfortable, they can simply stand up, by using the hand bars to support themselves.
The carer can then remove the brakes using the conveniently placed pedals which allows the aid to move freely. The base has four castors and two wheels to evenly distribute the user’s weight and allow for smooth and easy manoeuvrability.
Modifications have been made for patient comfort, such as height adjustable knee pads to match up to the patient’s height exactly. The bars have an attachment point to connect a handling belt if it is required.
When not in use the device is easy to store and perfect for transporting.
