EasySlide Large Sliding Aid
The EasySlide Large Sliding Aid is designed for normal-weight users with limited to severely reduced abilities to participate in the turning process. These people are often permanently confined to the bed, and it is therefore important to prevent pressure sores. The Sliding Aid has extra padding in order to reduce the risks of pressure sores, as the padding distributes the pressure over the entire body and reduces pressure, friction and risk of shearing on the especially vulnerable pressure points: the shoulders, hips, head, and feet.
Gentle for Those in Pain
The EasySlide ensures that friction is reduced on the bony extremities of the body during turning and makes it easy to move the user as often as required. The softness of the EasySlide also makes it very gentle for people in pain. Furthermore, the load on the carer is reduced due to easier and lighter transfers.
Effortless Turning for Patient and Carer
EasySlide is mainly designed for users who are bedridden, with severely reduced functional abilities, often in intensive care units. By reducing the friction underneath the user, turning is performed easily and painlessly for both user and carer. Good hygiene is a factor which also contributes to the prevention of pressure sores, and the Large Sliding Aid can therefore be delivered with a removable protective cover.
