Transport Stand Assist

Transport stand assists are non-powered standing transfer aids designed for patients who can bear a portion of their own weight but need caregiver support during sit-to-stand transfers and short-distance movement. These devices differ from powered or hydraulic sit-to-stand patient lifts because they do not use a lifting boom, actuator, pump, or sling to raise the patient. Instead, they provide a stable wheeled frame with hand grips, shin support, a foot platform, split seat pads, and locking casters so the user can stand, pivot, sit on the support pads, and be transported between nearby surfaces. Tycon Medical supplies models depending on stock, fit, and clinical needs. Current typical options may include the Vive Transport Stand Assist, though specific inventory is subject to change. Our specialists at Tycon Medical can assist with confirming whether a transport stand assist or a true sit-to-stand lift is appropriate for the user's weight-bearing ability.

• Vive Health: Vive Transport Stand Assist

FEATURES

Non-Powered Transfer Support: Helps caregivers assist with standing and short-distance transfers without a hydraulic pump, powered actuator, lift boom, or sling.

Partial Weight-Bearing Requirement: Intended for users who can participate in the transfer by supporting some of their own body weight while holding the frame.

Split Seat Pad Design: Swinging seat pads create a supported perch after the user stands, allowing safer movement between a bed, chair, toilet, sofa, or wheelchair.

Stabilizing Contact Points: Handrails, padded shin rests, a wide footrest, support strap hooks, and locking brakes help improve stability during the transfer process.

Compact Indoor Mobility: Swivel casters and a narrow frame support controlled movement across common indoor surfaces and through many residential doorways.
