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.
Sara Flex – Features & Benefits

That’s why the Sara® Flex by Arjo is thoughtfully engineered to make everyday transfers and care tasks easier and safer. With its ergonomic design, Sara Flex empowers a single caregiver to smoothly and securely assist a patient from seated to standing — all in one natural, comfortable motion.
