Oxford Switch Assistive Transfer Device

Oxford® Switch

A simple yet versatile solution for assisted standing and transfers.

The Switch is designed to help a person with reduced mobility, stand from a seated position and enable their transfer from one point to another. As a rehabilitation aid, the Switch actively encourages the user to participate in the standing process, engaging core muscle groups while improving strength and function.

This piece of equipment assists standing from a seated position - known as a sit to stand aid.  It is a non-powered patient turner and encourages active participation and functional independence.
