ABOUT THE KERA SIT2SIT HOIST
The Kera’s unique design uses an easy to fit backstrap and chestpad to securely hold a non weight bearing person. Now it’s possible for a single caregiver to quickly and safely transfer and perform hygiene processes for people that have no standing strength or balance.
Give time, energy and dignity back to people living with a disability by eliminating the need for multiple transfers during hygiene processes. The Kera SIT2SIT provides a comfortable and safe option thereby eliminating the need for traditional hoists or manual transfers.
The Kera SIT2SIT has improved the lives of hundreds of Kiwis for more than three years.
