Sara Flex – Supporting Safe and Natural Sit-to-Stand Transfers
The Sara Flex is designed to enable a single caregiver to safely and comfortably assist a patient or resident from a seated to a standing position — all in one smooth, natural movement. Sara Flex is specifically designed for patients and residents who are unable to mobilize without assistance but able to contribute to the action or perform part of the action independently.
