Active Stand-Assist & Transfer Aid – Encourages Participation and Independence
The Oxford Switch Transfer Aid is a versatile stand-assist device designed to help people with reduced mobility stand from a seated position and transfer safely to a new surface. Unlike passive hoists, the Switch encourages active participation — helping users engage core muscles and improve strength, balance and confidence during standing and short transfers.
Compact, ergonomic and lightweight, the Switch is ideal for use in homes, care settings and rehabilitation environments. It separates easily into two components for quick storage and convenient transport.
