Intended use
PediTurn is a slim, lightweight turnplate for floor use in connection with manual handling in the seated position, where the user must rotate but is not capable of moving his/her legs without assistance.

Intended environment
Acute care, Long-term care, Home care

Practical handling

Positioning
Place PediTurn on the floor. Position the user’s feet on the middle of PediTurn so that the user’s legs are perpendicular to the device.

Use
When manually handling a user in the seated position, the user’s legs will now follow the user, thus avoiding strain on the user’s foot, knee and hip joints (Illustration 1).
It is often beneficial to use SupportBelt, Sling or SmartMove with PediTurn.
