SMOOTHER TRANSFERS
Maxi Twin
The innovative open design of the Maxi Twin enables resident
transfer routines to be accomplished smoothly and safely by
a single carer using sound ergonomic working methods. With
the Maxi Twin, a carer will find it easy to lift a resident from any
platform such as a bed, chair or the floor.
At the bedside
The Maxi Twin is easy to manoeuvre into position for transfers
by holding the two masts or jib. Sling attachment is simple and
efficient. Lifting proceeds smoothly under handset control. The
excellent reach of the jib enables the resident to be lifted from
the middle of the bed. With an arc lifting action, the resident
experiences no uncomfortable drag across the bed during the
lifting sequence. Handset control means the carer can stay close
to the resident during the routine. And, with no central mast
to impede vision, the open design of the Maxi Twin enables
reassuring eye-contact between carer and resident at all times
during lifting and transfer.
At the chair / to the toilet
Maxi Twin enables smooth resident transfers to and from chairs
or toilet. The spreader bar and long reach of the lifter allows the
resident to be safely rotated into the correct position.
At the press of a button on the handset, the electrically
powered chassis legs of the Maxi Twin can be opened to
provide optimum access to the chair. Each chassis leg works
independently, so if one leg encounters an obstacle, such as a
wall or bed, it will stop while the other one continues to open,
thus ensuring best possible access.
DPS or Powered DPS enable fine-tuning of the resident’s
position to optimize comfort and bring the resident to an upright
position when being lowered into the chair or toilet.
The rear of the chassis has been designed to give the carer
plenty of room for comfortable foot placement when manoeuvring
the machine.
System integration
Another important aspect of Maxi Twin is system integration with
other ARJO solutions used in elderly care, such as the ARJO
Carendo. Smooth integration with the Carendo multi-purpose
hygiene chair, means residents can be efficiently and safely
transferred for hygiene routines.
Working with the Maxi Twin
makes transfers easier and less
stressful, as the open design
promotes ergonomic routines
and good carer-resident
contact.
