How to transfer with care: mastering clothing changes with Kera sit2sit
Transferring someone from chair to toilet or bed is hard enough. But throw in managing clothing – safely, quickly, and with dignity – and you’ve got a whole new level of complexity.
For most people using traditional hoists, getting dressed or undressed during transfers requires multiple lifts, extra hands, lots of manoeuvring, and often a good dose of frustration. That’s where the Kera sit2sit changes the game.
Designed for seated transfers. Built for real life.
The Kera sit2sit is designed specifically for single caregiver, sit-to-sit transfers without needing the user to stand or bear weight. That means no slings, no awkward lifting, and – crucially – the user remains supported and dignified throughout the entire process.
In this how-to video, we show you exactly how the Kera makes managing trousers and personal clothing simpler during a transfer. Whether you’re supporting someone to get onto the toilet or helping them get dressed for the day, the sit2sit method gives you better access and control – with less strain on everyone.
What makes the difference?
Easy forward lift: Once the backstrap is secure and tight, the caregiver gently lifts the person forward using the Kera’s handle. This opens up the space around the hips and makes it easier to adjust clothing from behind or underneath.
Minimal movement: No need to haul anyone into standing, rely on multiple caregivers or multiple lifts. The person stays seated, safe, and supported.
More dignity, less fuss: Clothing changes are quicker and feel more natural. Users aren’t suspended in slings or left waiting in compromising positions.
One caregiver. One hoist. One big impact.
For people with no standing strength, staying at home often hinges on how transfers are managed. When hoists need two caregivers or leave people feeling undignified, the alternative becomes residential care – costing tens of thousands each year and stripping away independence.
The Kera sit2sit gives families another option. One caregiver can manage toileting, dressing and moving between rooms safely and respectfully – and that’s life-changing.
Real people, real results
From OTs to family caregivers, the feedback is the same: the Kera gives back time, energy, and confidence. It’s already helping thousands of people stay at home longer, with fewer injuries and more autonomy.
“We use it multiple times a day. It’s made our lives so much easier.”
