Patient transfers for most patients is just that quick, safe and easy. Just block”em, rock”em, tip’em and turn’em. Sounds like a drill. It is a drill. A carefully designed drill that includes well thought out techniques that take advantage of principles of handling loads that movers have always understood combined with a simple load transfer tool known as a portable secure lateral transfer plate or Swivel for short.
These techniques are not intuitive and must be learned. Practice makes them fluid. I have trained more than 20,000 caregivers these 5 basic. You don’t need a crane, or a crowd to transfer. Just a little knowledge and a simple tool that you can take with you wherever you go. These techniques turn a 200 lb dead weight into a easy 20 lb transfer load. Even a small caregiver can handle it with this powerful combination mrswivel.com
