This kit converts fixed arm rests on a Wombat Living into swing-away arm rests. The arm rest then pivots out of the way, which opens up the side of the chair for a transfer.
It makes a real difference where a user is slid across from a bed or a wheelchair, or hoisted in with a sling, because the carer no longer has to lift over an arm rest. For a user who transfers with assistance several times a day, that is a change to the manual handling risk as well as to the time it takes.
The arm rest still gives full support once it is swung back into position, so nothing is lost on the seating side.
