Vive 360° Pivot Disc - Patient Transfer Device for Elderly & Disabled

This pivot disc is absolutely wonderful it worked perfectly for my resident and she thought it was incredible too even with her dementia no struggling at all

I'VE BEEN USING A TRANSFER DISK FOR AT LEAST 15 YEARS. I PUT MY FEET ON THE DISK AND MY HUSBAND SPINS ME TO TRANSFER. I LOVE THAT THE VIVE 360 PIVOT DISK SPINS EASILY. OTHER DISKS REQUIRE MUCH MORE EFFORT BY MY HUSBAND TO SPIN THE DISK DUE TO THEIR HIGHER FRICTION. USING THE HIGH FRICTION DISKS FOR YEARS HAS INJURED MY ANKLES AND KNEES. THE VIVE 360 DISK IS MUCH EASIER ON THOSE JOINTS. IN ADDITION, BECAUSE THE VIVE 360 DISK HAS A LARGER DIAMETER THAN OTHERS, IT IS MUCH EASIER FOR MY HUSBAND TO GET HIS FOOT ON THE DISK TO SPIN ME. MY ONLY CONCERN NOW IS HOW DURABLE THE VIVE 360 DISC IS AS I'VE ONLY HAD IT FOR 1 DAY. OTHERS SAY THE VIVE 360 DISK IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT SPINS TOO FAST AND TOO EASILY. I THINK ITS THE OPPOSITE. IT'S LESS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT SPINS EASILY AND BECAUSE OF THE LARGER DIAMETER. ITS A MATTER OF TECHNIQUE AND PRACTICE.

This is a great product. My wife can only move a few small steps, using a walker while I'm hanging on to steady her. She usually just does a 45 degree pivot to move from a furniture chair or bed to a transit chair, and this helps her to make that pivot. The problem I encounter is that I'm usually beside her (helping her sit) or behind her. This only works safely if the caregiver can be in front of the patient. It works best if there can be two caregivers involved.

Product works great. Just make sure to follow safety instructions.

I was disappointed with the Vive 360° Pivot Disc. While the concept is useful in theory, the disc feels unstable and wobbly, which makes transferring a patient more stressful than helpful. The surface can be slippery, even with non-slip shoes or socks, and it doesn’t provide the level of security I expected. Additionally, the size is a bit restrictive, and heavier patients may find it difficult to balance safely. Overall, it seems more like a risky gimmick than a reliable transfer tool. I wouldn’t feel comfortable relying on it for daily use.

The disk is large, well made and sturdy. A drawback we found is that compared to others we've used, it spins much too freely. For patients with poor balance or who have difficulty following instructions, we prefer a disk with a little resistance to slow the rotation. I use my foot as a brake but even then, with the large diameter and low friction, it's difficult to maintain adequate control and safety.

The disc eases the process of transferring on the client and caregiver. HIGHLY recommend!

once caregivers get used to these disks they are extremely helpful to both the caregiver and the patient

Fait le job

I bought this item for a friend who looks after his mother on a daily basis, she has just had a hip replacement & this item will be used to help his mother to get out of bed & transfer her to a chair.

Funciona muy bien sólo hay que aprender a usarlo pero es de gran ayuda

Se uso para traslado de personas ya mayores apoyando en la carga y traslado de diferentes lugares, muy eficiente

It worked for me, but it needs care. I put my good foot on it and, holding on to a frame, was able to transfer from chair to bed, wheelchair or commode.
