Struggling to complete safe toilet transfers despite hygiene still being manageable? The Aerolet toilet lift provides powered sit-to-stand assistance, stabilising the highest-risk part of the toileting task. It reduces falls risk, removes unsafe manual lifting, and enables continued independence when transfers become unreliable.
Many individuals can still manage hygiene but begin to struggle with the movement on and off the toilet. This is often where risk escalates.
Is the client safe during sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit?
If the answer is no, you will typically see:
How do you make transfers safe, repeatable, and sustainable again?
The sit-to-stand movement demands coordination between strength, balance, timing, and postural control. When these decline, the individual enters the most vulnerable phase of the task.
This is where:
If left unaddressed, this often drives escalation to assisted care.
Aerolet replaces an unsafe, effort-dependent transfer with a controlled, powered movement.
Can the user stand safely?
How can we deliver a safe, repeatable transfer regardless of strength or fatigue?
This removes variability from the highest-risk part of the task and restores confidence in completion.
For any OT intervention, outcomes must be measurable and meaningful.
Aerolet enables:
This is not simply assistance. It is risk-controlled independence.
Aerolet introduces a powered lifting mechanism that guides the user through a controlled movement pattern.
It works by:
The result is a predictable transfer that no longer depends on fluctuating physical ability.
Not all transfers fail for the same reason. Choosing the wrong lift pattern can reduce effectiveness.
Choose vertical when the user can actively participate in the movement.

Vertical Aerolet provides:
Best suited to:
Choose tilting when the user struggles to initiate standing or maintain forward balance.

Tilting Aerolet provides:
Best suited to:
Aerolet is most effective where transfer instability is the primary risk driver.
Common indications include:
In each case, the shared problem is not hygiene, but safe movement.
If both transfer and hygiene are compromised, combining solutions becomes essential. Aerolet integrates directly with the Palma Vita wash and dry toilet to create a complete toileting system.
This allows you to move from:
The result:
This is where the intervention moves beyond support and becomes a complete solution.
Start with the failure point in the task.
Is the transfer unsafe, even if hygiene is still manageable?
If yes, focus your assessment on:
Transfer biomechanics
Strength and control
Risk exposure
Future trajectory
Aerolet becomes appropriate when independence is still achievable, but risk is no longer acceptable.
Different problems require different interventions.
Aerolet represents the highest level of transfer support, used when the consequence of failure is greatest.
If transfer instability is driving risk, the priority is to match the lift type to the user’s movement pattern.
