Free-Standing Trapeze is a floor-mounted trapeze frame with an overhead grab bar, designed for patients whose bed frame is not compatible with a standard clamp-on trapeze attachment, or for use alongside non-hospital-style beds. It provides the same repositioning and transfer assistance as a standard trapeze without requiring a hospital bed.

OxyCare supplies free-standing trapezes for patients in home beds and other non-hospital sleeping setups. Rental is available.
