Applications
SafetySure Transfer
Slide 1031 (SST Slide 1031) is used primarily to:
Advantages
SST Slide Large is
big enough to provide an undersurface from head to toe. The new and unique
ULF (ultra low friction) material on the inside of the sliding mat makes it easy
to move even a heavy patient.
Techniques
The techniques shown
below are only examples of the many applications for which the SST Slide Large
may be used. To select the technique most suited to your situation and
patient, it is strongly advised that you consult with a physiotherapist or
mobility skills instructor.
Safety
tip
Wheels on all
transfer equipment (bed/chair, etc.) must be locked to prevent the two parallel
surfaces from sliding apart while using the SST Slide Large.
Positioning
Turn the patient
onto one side and insert the sliding mat underneath him/her (fig. 1) so that
he/she is lying half upon the SST Slide Large. Before starting the
transfer, tilt the patient's body slightly so that his/her full weight is on the
mat. It is helpful if you can place the SST Slide Large under a sheet or a
draw-sheet, enabling a firmer grip and gentler handling (fig. 2).
Transfer
It is best to divide
the transfer into several steps.
-
Place SST Slide Large under the patient (fig. 3).
-
Move the patient
to the edge of the bed, making sure that he or she cannot fall off (fig. 3).
-
Place the second
bed/operating table/trolley, etc., alongside the bed (fig. 3).
-
Perform the
transfer (fig. 3 and 4).
If there is a
difference in levels (fig. 4), pillows or blankets may be placed under the
mattress at the edge of the lower surface to create an inclined plane and allow
a gentle transition.
Turning
in bed
SST Slide Large is
convenient for turning a patient in bed. It reduces the friction, even
under the legs (fig. 5). SST Slide is at its best when the patient is
positioned sideways prior to turning, and when correcting his/her posture after
the transfer (fig. 6).
Directions
