Powered Sit-to-Stand Transfers That Feel Natural and Comfortable
The Arjo Sara Flex electric transfer aid helps individuals with partial weight-bearing ability move safely and comfortably between beds, chairs, wheelchairs, and commodes β without straining the caregiver's back. A quiet electric motor, controlled by a simple one-handed remote, lifts and lowers smoothly up to a 440 lb safe working load, encouraging the user to actively participate in their own standing transfer rather than being passively hoisted.
What makes the Sara Flex stand out is its flexible silicone shin panel, which contours automatically to the user's lower legs as they rise β no manual pin adjustments needed for every person's height. A low 4" chassis clearance lets it slide easily under standard beds and home furniture, and motorized base legs widen from 26" to 40.5" at the push of a button to fit around wheelchairs and armchairs. It arrives fully assembled and ready to use, whether it's headed for a hospital, a rehab center, a long-term care facility, or someone's home.
Key Features
- Fully Electric Operation: Remote-controlled lifting and lowering removes manual strain from the caregiver and builds patient confidence.
- Flexible Silicone Shin Panel: Adapts automatically to varying shin lengths and positions for soft, ergonomic lower-leg support with no rigid pressure points.
- Motorized Width-Adjustable Base: Hand-pendant control expands the chassis from 26" to 40.5" wide to roll smoothly around wide chairs and wheelchairs.
- Low 4" Chassis Clearance: Ultra-low front legs slide easily beneath low homecare beds, recliners, and furniture.
- 39" to 59.75" Lifting Range: Generous vertical reach supports full hip extension for standing practice and transfers to taller seating.
- One-Handed Remote Control: Lets caregivers keep one hand on the patient at all times for added reassurance.
- Ships Fully Assembled: Pre-tested and ready for immediate use β no complex setup required.
Specialist Insight: Traditional sit-to-stand lifts use rigid knee pads that need manual pin adjustments for every person's height. The Sara Flex's flexible silicone shin panel skips that step entirely β it flexes and contours to the user's shins in real time as they rise, distributing pressure evenly. That means faster transfer prep and noticeably more comfortable lower-leg support compared to fixed-pad designs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Who is a suitable candidate for the Arjo Sara Flex?
A: The Sara Flex is designed for individuals who can bear partial weight on at least one leg and have enough upper-body strength to hold the support handles while standing. For someone who cannot bear any weight, a full-body passive sling lift is the appropriate choice instead.
Q: How does the flexible silicone shin panel work?
A: Unlike traditional rigid knee pads that need manual height and angle adjustments, the shin panel flexes on its own. It adapts to the user's lower leg angle and height automatically during elevation, keeping support comfortable and pressure-free throughout the transfer.
Q: Is any assembly required when it arrives?
A: No. The Sara Flex arrives fully assembled and ready to use right out of the box, whether it's going into a home or a care facility.
Q: Does this include a sling?
A: No, slings are sold separately so you can choose the size and style that best fits the user. Be sure to confirm sling sizing and weight rating before use.
Disclaimer: Slings are sold separately. Product specifications and packaging details are subject to change by the manufacturer without notice. This information is not a substitute for professional medical advice β confirm with a qualified healthcare provider that the patient can safely bear partial weight before initiating sit-to-stand transfers, verify correct sling sizing and weight limits, and ensure caregivers are trained on proper operation before use.
