When a client needs help changing direction during a transfer, the handling aid doing that work has to be easy for the carer to control. The Continental Bradbury Turner sits in Silvalea’s manual transfer range and is used where someone is being turned or repositioned as part of a supported move.
It suits clients who can take some weight or assist a little, but who cannot organise the turn themselves, and it gives the carer a clear point of control so the move stays steady from start to finish. Like any manual handling aid, it belongs inside a documented technique, not used on its own, so the person’s tolerance for standing, their trunk control and the space around the bed or chair all feed into whether it is the right choice.
