- Page 2 The Vanturns are used indoors for shorter transfers between wheelchair and bed, wheelchair and toilet/portable toilet/ wheelchair or chair/armchair. Vanturns can also be used to aid repositioning farther back in the chair. The Vanturn is designed for easy manoeuvring and use in confined spaces. They are easy to assemble and disassemble in just two sections for easier transport and storage.
- Page 3 The user grasps the raising ladder, leans forward, and then raises himself/herself. Pull the Vanturn back somewhat, and then steer in towards the wheelchair. Position the Vanturn close enough to enable good placement in the wheelchair. The caregiver applies counter pressure before the user sits down.
- Page 4 Farther back in the chair If the user slides forward in the wheelchair, the Vanturn can be used to help the user to slide farther back in the chair. Remove/raise the wheelchair foot plates, and then run the Vanturn in towards the wheelchair. The user places his/her feet on the foot plate, grasps the raising ladder, leans forward, and then lifts from the seat.
