The Symmetrikit Acheeva range of inclusive aids enable users that may struggle to find comfort in a seated position all day, for example in a wheelchair, to adjust their positioning to allow them to continue activities.
Having achieved success with the Symmetrikit Acheeva Student in classrooms and homes across Europe for several years, the Helping Hand company wanted a new and improved version that would accommodate adult and bariatric users, and provide easier operation for nurses and carers.
The Acheeva Graduate was designed and developed in under 18 months and was delivered within budget. The bed provides the user with full support in supine (upwards), prone (on stomach), or side lying to protect body shape and respiratory function. The bed has powered height adjustment which facilitates a smoother sliding or standing transfer for nurses and carers. We redesigned the original drop down cot sides to allow them to be operated by one hand, enabling carers to keep one hand on their patient if necessary.
