- Any sliding motion carries a potential risk to patients who have fragile or damaged skin due to the shearing forces produced by sliding especially during the initial thrust.
- In such cases, single layer slide sheets may not offer enough protection.
- The Slide Quilt has thick, siliconised fibre padding between the cotton outer and the nylon inner surface to provide this protection.
- Using the Patient Handling Sling in conjunction with any sliding aid, reduces the risk of the nurse or carer overstretching and allows for better hand grip and greater control.
- The Slide Quilt is also more suitable for patients on water, air or other special mattresses.
- Supplied complete with a waterproof cover which can be used independently as a slide sheet.
- Available in two sizes
