Drive Medical RTL6048 Lifestyle Pivot Transfer Disc, Black

Very safe transfer disc. The only problem is do not get the turn table at the bottom wet. It will not turn properly once wet. I clean the top and then wipe down the bottom turn.

I am so thankful for this product. My wife has MS and lost mobility. It is very difficult to lift her up to move her from lift recliner to wheelchair, wheelchair to toilet, ect. This transfer disc saved the day (and my back). It easily goes underneath her feet. She wraps her arms around my shoulders (her arms are weak) and I lift her up. The disc does the work and transfers her quickly to her next spot. Because it is so quick, it always me to use less energy and get her there faster. She is bigger than me (5'10" 220) and I am smaller at 5'1.I noticed in some videos about this item that they have the caregivers using their feet to move the disc. We don't have to do this as it moves automatically. I'm not sure why that tip was needed. Maybe it depends on how you lift someone.The disc is super light weight.Whoever invented this product knows exactly what she is talking about. It is really great and I highly recommend. I might actually get another one to keep in the car.Thanks!

I purchased for my dad because he had a head bleed and still does not pivot well at all, but he can stand. The only problem is that he wears size 14 shoe and it’s hard to make sure his feet are centered. I’d love one inch in size more of the disc, but I couldn’t find any product that large anywhere.

My husband has Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis and is unable to move his legs or take a step. Which means that moving him from wheelchair to bed had been quite challenging.After months of trying to lift him, turn him and adjust his direction from one place to another, my back was severely damaged. To the point where breathing was painful.As a caregiver, I felt horrible. I wanted him to be as safe as poss, but because of pain it was getting risky. Thankfully, his physical therapist recommended we get a pivot disc and a gait belt. I ordered them and life (and my back) has been much better ever since!This disc specifically is well made, turns easily and we LOVE the little non-slip grooves.

I purchased this for my 100lb mother who has Parkinson’s. It will not spin with her standing on it. The order showed the item could be returned in the next 6 weeks. I tried to return it the week after purchasing it and was told it was not eligible for return.

After a year of having a tough time with my mother being transferred from the bed to the commode, or wheelchair, or from the wheel chair to a recliner, I finally found this product. My mom is mid 80’s with advanced Parkinson’s and suffers from muscle rigidity and frequently has the glued foot thing going on where her feet seem glued to the ground and she can’t take a step or lift her leg in her own. With a little practice this disk is fantastic for our needs and allows us to position her feet on the disk while lifting her up. I put my foot in between her feet half on and half off the disk to hold it secure until ready to turn her. Once I have her standing with both arms around her I simply move my foot off the disk and can easily rotate her on the turning disk to where we are going without her having to take a step. It has proven to be MUCH safer for her and the caregiver or me to move her with without worrying about her twisting an ankle or having to put too much pressure on her rib cage by physically lifting her off the ground when we are “stuck” in place. It is pretty easy to learn to use. Occasionally she will try to help us and take a step which can be a problem cause once one of her feet come off the disk it won’t turn easily. So when that happens you have to get the foot back onto the disk. But this has been a life changer and it’s much more safe for a single person transfer to do. I wish I would have found it a year ago. Her hospice nurse, and other caregivers love the device and have only had positive things said about it.

This may work for persons who have more control of their movements, but for person who are fragile or not able to balance well, this is not safe. There needs to be something heat locks it into place so it won't turn until the person standing on it is standing and stable. I guess I will have to sell on eBay since we have had it more than 30 days.

I was having a difficult time transferring my father with Parkinson’s from his wheelchair to the car and this handy device has made a huge difference.
