Who Can Use the Etac Non-Slip Positioning Cushion?
The OneWayGlide Non-Slip Cushion is designed for patients who tend to slide forward when sitting, whether in a wheelchair or other seat. This sliding can be damaging to the skin, which is why the non-slip fabric of the cushion is ideal for preventing friction and shear forces.
How Can the OneWayGlide Cushion Help My Patient?
This non-slip cushion can help your patient maintain a correct seated position in order to avoid sores forming on the pelvic bones. These sores develop due to shearing on the skin. This cushion can be used as a handy aid if your patient has to be repositioned repeatedly.

Follow the simple steps below to discover how best to use the OneWayGlide Cushion.
- To move backwards in the wheelchair, the user must lean forward, hold the armrest and push towards the backrest using their arms and (if possible) legs.
