Direct Healthcare FootStool
The FootStool by Direct Healthcare Group is a specially designed aid that enhances both user comfort and caregiver support during seated transfers and repositioning. By elevating the user’s knees, it facilitates safer and more ergonomic movements, making it particularly useful for tasks such as transitioning from a bed to a wheelchair, adjusting posture while seated, or aiding with toileting. This elevation helps reduce strain on both the user and caregiver, promoting a more natural movement pattern and improving overall safety. Its thoughtful design includes a front-edge indentation, which enables caregivers to stand closer while assisting, improving their posture and reducing the risk of back strain. Additionally, the rear-edge indentation allows the FootStool to fit seamlessly around toilet chairs or other equipment, making it a versatile solution for use in healthcare, rehabilitation, or home settings. Crafted from durable cellular plastic, the FootStool is both lightweight and stable, providing reliable support on various surfaces. Its easy-to-clean material ensures excellent hygiene, as it can be wiped down with soap or alcohol-based solutions. The FootStool is available in two different heights; 50mm or 100mm (2" or 4"), therefore, allowing users to choose the most suitable option based on their specific needs. A spare cover is also available, the cover is made from a wipeable material to promote maximum hygiene. The cover is provided with a handle to facilitate transportation of the FootStool, or it can be used as a hanger when FootStool is not in use.
