Banana Transfer Turntable

Banana Transfer Turntable (Diameter 40.5cm) Banana Transfer Turntable is a strong yet lightweight plastic turntable which provides easy rotation through 360 degrees for standing and seated transfers. Ideal for bed to chair or car transfers the turntable has a diameter of 40.5cm and weighs just 1.35kg. Maximum user weight 115kg (18 stone). Instructions for use: Use of the Banana Transfer Turntable, in an assisted move by a carer, should only be undertaken by a carer that has undergone appropriate manual handling training, such as that provided by the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), or equivalent, and that their recognised transfer methods are adhered to. Prior to undertaking any use of Banana Transfer Turntable, a thorough risk assessment must be carried out, including site conditions, and only if the assessment is acceptable should the Banana Transfer Turntable be used in assisted patient moving and handling. The Banana Transfer Turntable is designed to enable carers to assist patients in a turning movement during patient moving and handling. Examples of this would be the elimination of feet dragging in a seated transfer movement or assisting the patient in conducting a turning action. By eliminating friction during these movements patient discomfort is eliminated. Ensure that the turntable is perfectly flat on the floor before use. The Banana Transfer Turntable has a brass bearing and therefore turns very easily on itself and so great care should be taken to ensure the patient has sufficient support during any turning manoeuvre. The upper and lower surfaces of the turntable have a rubber dimpled surface to give good grip to both the patient’s feet and the surface upon which the turntable stands.
