For prevention of skin breakdown, it is imperative we change positions in bed frequently. The skin becomes very vulnerable when continuous pressure is compromising any part of our body. Therefore, it is important to turn and reposition when sitting or lying in bed. It is generally recommended by physicians to reposition at least every two hours. 

Wheelchairs Abound offers a newly designed Freestanding Trapeze. It is very easy to assemble and even easier to move with the wheels and with a fold up configuration that has been added for easy storage. The trapeze is designed to help larger patients to change positions while in bed and aid in the transfer from bed to chairs with minimum assistance. Used in conjunction with a bed, this trapeze can assist an individual weighing up to 1000 lbs. It is designed to provide support, increase stability and assist the user when repositioning in the bed. However, it is not designed to support the total body weight of an individual. It should be used for assistance only. The overhead boom swivels from 0 degrees to 180 degrees. Boom can be locked down in 45 degree increments. The chain is adjustable from the edge of headboard to the end of boom by simply sliding to desired position. It assembles with a drill, rubber mallet, and 5/16” socket and 3/4” wrench.
