How to buy the TurnAid Patient Turning System

Caring for patients who are unable to turn themselves in bed can be physically demanding and time-consuming for carers. The TurnAid Patient Turning System is designed to make this process easier, safer, and more dignified for both patients and carers.

In this blog, we set out exactly how you can purchase the TurnAid System.

What is the TurnAid Patient Turning System?

The TurnAid System is a powered patient turning system that is attached to a client’s bed. It features side rails with electric turning rollers, which combine with a turn sheet and slide sheet to facilitate patient turning and repositioning at the touch of a button. 

The TurnAid reduces back strain for nursing staff and family members during the repositioning of patients weighing up to 350kg. Excessive spinal loading and resultant back pain are significantly minimised.

How to buy the TurnAid Patient Turning System

1. Get in touch with our team

The first step in purchasing the TurnAid System is to get in touch with our team.

We will guide you through some questions to confirm whether the TurnAid will be appropriate for the situation and to double-check bed compatibility. 

2. Arrange a trial or assessment with the system

In most cases, a trial of the TurnAid system is necessary to ensure that the equipment is suitable for the client and carers. We offer a free 2-week trial of the TurnAid system to facilitate this. Here’s what it involves:

• We install the TurnAid Turning System onto the client’s bed in their own home.
• Our team provides on-site training to carers or support staff, ensuring they feel confident using the system.
• Over the two weeks, you can monitor how the system performs, measure the benefits, and observe how it supports both the client and carers.

If a trial is not needed or not appropriate, we can arrange an assessment session with the TurnAid, which gives you a brief look at how the Vendlet Turning System functions:

• We bring in a demo bed fitted with the TurnAid system.
• Our team demonstrates and assesses the suitability and effectiveness of the system.
• After the session, we remove the system on the same day.

For an assessment to be doable, we’ll need level, double-door access to bring our demo bed into the property. This can be a barrier in some home environments, especially for private individuals.
