Who Can Use the Etac Immedia 4WayGlide LPL Mattress and Sheet Set?
The Immedia 4WayGlide LPL Mattress and Sheet Set is a specially designed patient transfer system for patients with limited mobility, especially in the pelvis area. The low-friction nylon surface between the mattress and sheet allows patients to move comfortably around their bed with minimal pressure on their bodies, whilst carers can benefit from the set's overall convenience and simplicity. This set includes the following two items:
How Does the Immedia 4WayGlide Mattress Work With the Nylon Sheet?
The 4WayGlide Nylon Sheet's elasticated straps and "lock-in" system allows the sheet to be fixed beneath the 4WayGlide Mattress without risk of slippage. When the mattress is positioned on top of the sheet, the two work together to facilitate patient movement up and down the bed. For more information, please watch the video below:
How Secure Is the Etac Immedia 4WayGlide LPL Mattress Set?
The 4WayGlide LPL Mattress and Sheet Set is designed to simultaneously provide carers with an assured method of patient adjustment, and patients with an independent means of moving up and down their bed. The mattress's elasticated straps and the sheet's PU-coated lock secure them both together, whilst the handles on the inside of the mattress allow patients to manoeuvre themselves, or carers to attach a hoist for assisted movement.
What Makes the Triple Locked Set Safer Than Other Models?
The 4WayGlide sheet has three PU-treated locks for attaching to the mattress, whereas other models have either one or two. This is to ensure maximum safety when caring for patients with advanced injuries and degenerative motor-neuron diseases, as these patients are at a greater risk of slipping.
The 4WayGlide LPL Triple-Lock Set ensures maximum safety for patients with advanced injuries
How Practical Is the 4WayGlide LPL Mattress and Sheet Set?
The 4WayGlide system simultaneously improves safety for patients and increases convenience for carers. The non-slip material along the bedside can be removed to allow for easier patient transfers, and can easily be returned once the patient is in position. Additionally, using the sheet with the mattress improves hygiene by creating a barrier.
