ETAC Patient Turner Pro

Product details

The ETAC Patient Turner Pro uses an innovative design to combine safe turning with light standing support for users who can bear some weight. Its bright orange handle provides a clear visual target that can help users with reduced vision or dementia, while the overall profile keeps the unit practical for both home and care environments. The turner is intended to assist carers during transfers and to help make everyday movement more dignified for the user.

Adjustability and comfort lie at the heart of the design. The unit features height-adjustable handles with a wide range to suit different carers and users, plus leg supports that give comfort and stability during the turn. A small footplate keeps the user's feet guided and a set of large wheels ensures smooth movement across carpets and hard floors, making it simple to reposition the turner as needed.

Portability and load capacity are practical strengths. The turner weighs 8 kg, so it is straightforward to lift and store, and it supports a maximum user weight of 200 kg. For safety, it is intended for use with individuals who have some weight-bearing ability; it does not remove the need for a carer or an individual risk assessment prior to use.
