Supine Transfers Made Easy with the Rifton Stander (Sizes 2 and 3)

Transcript

Today let’s explore the seamless process of supine transfers with the innovative Rifton Stander, ensuring comfort and adaptability for users of all needs. Begin by positioning the Stander horizontally, preparing for a lateral transfer from a bed or a reclined chair.

What sets the Rifton Stander apart? The legs can be independently adjusted to accommodate leg length discrepancies or any other asymmetry. For fitting, measure the patient from hip to knee, and knee to heel on both legs to determine the appropriate length. Set thigh length and lower leg length on the Stander according to the measurements. Customize the Stander to the user’s needs by setting hip flexion, knee flexion, and hip depth based on contractures or body shape. In the supine position, consider lowering hip depth to create space for gluteal tissue. Trunk height can be adjusted if additional trunk length is needed.

Prepare for lateral transfer by swinging away laterals and opening up straps. Turn over leg laterals to create transfer space. When performing a lateral transfer from a bed or reclined chair, ensure the patient’s hips are positioned at the marker. Secure the patient with critical straps: the trunk strap, hip strap, knee straps, and sandal straps. Engage the trunk and leg lateral supports for added stability.

Enjoy the flexibility of independent hip abduction, available up to 30° on each leg. Ankle adjustments for dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, rotation, and foot depth can be tailored to user preferences. Position the Stander to the desired height and angle. Adjust the headrest depth and laterals, attaching the tray and fine-tuning its height and angle.

And there you have it, supine transfers made easy with the Rifton Stander.
