The Lumex Stand Assist is a sit to stand transport assistance device that keeps the resident actively engaged in the transport process. Transport functions of all kinds are quick, convenient, and require minimal caregiver or attendant assistance. Users grab the middle bar and use their own strength to pull themselves up into position. A padded split seat swings out to allow loading or unloading then swings back to form a comfortable and stable transport seat. The Stand Assist is a convenient toileting alternative to a wheelchair or walker and is more affordable than electric or battery-powered sit-to-stand lifts, patient lifts and hydraulic or manual hoyer lifts. Quality is the hallmark of all Lumex products. Trusted by healthcare professionals and end-users for over 50 years, Lumex, by Graham-Field, features a full line of patient aids, medical equipment, and specialty healthcare seating.
