The new Safe Patient Transfer techniques are a redesign of the old transfer process to remove the old manual lift with the new balance pivot. The balance pivot is a new way at assisting in the transfer of people with limited mobility. The system dramatically reduces the strain on both the patient and the caregiver. The key secret ingredient is the tip,balance,pivot principle which is new to the patient transfer world. This is the key element that reduces the load from 50% with a manual transfer to 10% for the balance pivot method. Safe Patient Transfers don’t have to be difficult. There are actually 14 ways to move almost any person without straining either the patient or the caregiver. Patient transfers are not intuitive skills, they are learned skills. mrswivel.com
