Transferring Patient From Bed To Wheelchair Procedure

The equipment stocked for bed-to-wheelchair work sits in our patient transfer range: transfer sheets for the bed side of the move, person lifts for seated transfers, and transport chairs and carts — from Bestcare, Handicare, MJM International and Veigel.

A transfer sheet such as the Bestcare SL-TFS, with 10 ergonomic handles, is used to move and reposition the patient in the bed so a team can position them at the bed edge before the seated transfer begins.

The Autochair Milford Person Lift and Smartbase handle the lift itself for a seated transfer into a vehicle seat, and the same lifting approach applies to chair transfers where a manual move is not safe.

Yes. The MJM adjustable height therapy car (450 lb capacity) and the MJM emergency preparedness bed cart are the transport items in this range for moving the patient once they are seated or lying.

Nurses, therapists and home caregivers who perform bed-to-chair transfers daily and need equipment that makes the procedure controlled and repeatable.
