Handicare ReTurn: Multi-Functional Sit-to-Stand and Rehabilitation Aid
The Handicare ReTurn is an innovative assistive device designed to bridge the gap between a standard patient lift and active mobility training. In institutional settings such as hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and long-term care facilities, moving patients who have some weight-bearing ability but lack the strength for independent standing is a frequent challenge. The ReTurn solves this by stimulating the patient's natural pattern of movement, allowing them to use their own strength to stand while providing a secure, stable platform for transfer between beds, wheelchairs, and toilets. This "active transfer" approach not only preserves the patient's muscle tone and functional ability but also significantly reduces the physical burden and risk of musculoskeletal injury for caregivers.
Engineered for versatility and ease of use, the ReTurn rolls freely on all surfaces, making it incredibly easy to maneuver even in confined spaces like bathrooms. It functions as a transfer platform, a repositioning aid, and a rehabilitation tool all in one. The device features a rising ladder that allows patients to grip at various heights, supporting a "power grip" that facilitates a natural standing motion. Available in multiple models—including the standard 7500i, the compact 7400 for smaller adults and children, and the heavy-duty 7600 for bariatric users—the ReTurn system is a scalable solution for diverse patient populations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions below.
-
Will the Handicare ReTurn fit through my standard interior doorways and narrow hallways?
The Handicare ReTurn is specifically engineered with a compact base to navigate standard residential doorways and tight bathroom entries with ease. Its low-profile chassis glides under most furniture, allowing the user to get close enough for a safe, natural pivot without needing a wide turning radius. This streamlined design ensures you can move a loved one from a bed to a wheelchair or commode without the bulky footprint of a traditional hydraulic lift. By utilizing the existing home layout rather than requiring modifications, it serves as a non-invasive accessibility solution for private residences.
-
Is this transfer aid safe for use on carpeted floors or area rugs?
This assistive device features high-quality, easy-roll casters that transition smoothly between hard tile, hardwood, and low-pile residential carpeting. While the base provides exceptional stability on flat surfaces, the rear wheels are equipped with directional locks to prevent unwanted drifting during the sit-to-stand process. For homes with thicker area rugs, the intuitive design allows the caregiver to utilize the central stepping platform to provide extra leverage when crossing thresholds. This versatility ensures that a family member can move safely from the bedroom to the living area without getting stuck on varied flooring heights.
-
How does the ReTurn protect the caregiver from back strain during daily transfers?
The ReTurn virtually eliminates the need for manual lifting by utilizing the user’s own strength and natural movement patterns to facilitate a transfer. By grasping the rising ladder, the user pulls themselves into a standing position, shifting the workload away from the caregiver’s lumbar region and onto the device’s stable frame. The caregiver simply acts as a guide, counterbalancing the unit with their own body weight on the specialized footbar rather than lifting the patient’s full weight. This "active" transfer method significantly reduces the risk of long-term musculoskeletal injury for family caregivers and home health aides.
-
What is the weight capacity and which model is best for a bariatric family member?
We offer three distinct models—the 7400, 7500, and 7600—to accommodate a wide range of body types and a maximum load capacity of up to 330 lbs. The ReTurn 7600 is specifically designed for taller or bariatric users, featuring a higher rising ladder to provide proper ergonomic hand placement during the stand. Each unit is constructed from high-grade, powder-coated steel to maintain structural integrity under frequent daily use. Selecting the correct model ensures that the knee supports align perfectly with the user's anatomy, providing the necessary bracing for a secure, confident lift.
-
Does the device require professional assembly or regular mechanical maintenance?
Your Handicare ReTurn arrives ready for immediate use with minimal, tool-free assembly required to secure the rising ladder to the rolling base. Because the device is purely mechanical and lacks complex electrical motors or batteries, it requires virtually zero long-term maintenance beyond a simple wipe-down with standard disinfectants. The durable aerospace-grade finishes and high-impact plastic components are designed to withstand years of residential use without rattling or losing stability. This "low-tech, high-effect" design offers homeowners a reliable medical-grade tool without the recurring costs or technical headaches of powered lifting equipment.
