Safety and Usage Advice

When the handle bar has been raised to the full height, a bullet catch will prevent further extension. The handle bar should only be pulled out further for cleaning or transportation.

Method of Use

The Orbi-Turn is placed in front of the user while they are seated.
The user places both feet on the slip-resistant footplate.
The kneepad is adjusted so that it sits just below the tibial tuberosity - the bony prominence just below the front of the knee.
The user then grips the lower section of the handle bar, while the carer places a foot on the brake to stabilise and counter balance the client and holds the top section of the handle.
The carer continues to hold the top section of the handle while the user stands up. Their lower leg and pelvis are then supported in front by the support bars.
Once standing safely, the carer removes their foot from the brake and pivots the disk. The carer should step around with the Orbi-Turn as it moves, so as to avoid spinal rotation.
Once the user is in the desired position, the carer operates the foot brake and counter-balances their weight as they sit down slowly.
