Description
How the Kera Sit2Sit Works
The Kera Sit2Sit supports the user through the upper body using a secure chest pad and back strap, allowing safe and controlled transfers between seated positions.
Unlike traditional hoists, there’s no need for sling fitting or standing ability. The system enables a smooth, predictable transfer while reducing physical strain on the carer.
Who It’s Suitable For
The Kera Sit2Sit is ideal for individuals who:
- Are non-weight bearing or unable to stand
- Have reduced balance or trunk control
- Require frequent seated transfers throughout the day
- Would otherwise require a hoist or two carers
Common use cases include:
- Wheelchair ↔ armchair transfers
- Chair ↔ commode transfers
- Repositioning within seating
Why Choose Kera Over a Traditional Hoist?
- No sling fitting or adjustment
- Faster, simpler transfers
- Enables single-carer handling
- Less intrusive in the home
- Better access for clothing and hygiene
For many home care environments, this means safer handling, reduced time per transfer, and a more dignified experience for the user. If you’re still exploring options, browse our full range of transfer aids to find the right solution.
