ReTurn (Assistive Sit-to-Stand and Transfer Aid) by Handicare

Stable and Secure Base Plate

All ReTurn models consist of two main components: a base plate and a rising ladder. The stable and secure base plate, with a patented design, provides the foundation for the unique functionality of all ReTurn models.

A low center of gravity and a broad underlying support surface, with wheels at all corners, eliminate the risk of tipping. Two large, fixed and lockable center wheels right in front of the rising ladder carry most of the user’s weight and make the ReTurn easy to roll and directionally stable while the four castors at the corners ensure easy maneuvering, even in confined spaces.

The base plate has a low step-in height and a narrower rear profile, and therefore can be moved in under a bed, chair or wheelchair. The ReTurn can be positioned very close to the user, who need only lift their feet slightly to be able to place them on the base plate. Clear markings on the base plate ensure safe and secure placement of the user’s feet. The base plate also has a clear symbol to indicate how the caregiver should apply counterweight while the user rises up or sits down.

Adustable Lower Leg Supports

All ReTurn models have lower-leg supports that can be adjusted both vertically and laterally. They can also be angled, making it easy to individually adapt the settings according to the user’s height and other factors. This function also makes it possible for several individuals to use the same ReTurn.
