Who Can Use the Etac Immedia TwinSheet4Glide?

The pad is suitable for patients with severely reduced mobility, as well as those with dementia, brain damage, pain or pressure ulcers.

Why Is This Glide Pad Split Into Two Parts?
The glide pad is added to the nylon sheet to assist moving in all directions. Disconnecting the lower part of the pad provides better access for the care of pressure ulcers, hygiene, dressing and even to change the bedding. Both the lower and top parts can be used in combination with a hoist, for instance the top can be lifted to turn the patient whilst the lower part is separated for access, as displayed in the image below.
