Individuals who are confined to bed most or all of the time have to deal with the risk of pressure sores that can cause pain and potentially become infected. One of the best ways to avoid such sores is to move the individual regularly, but doing so can be a challenge when the linens that are used create too much friction as they rub against one another. With the use of an EasySlide Transfer Aid, which comes in a variety of sizes, the friction can be dramatically reduced and it will be much easier to move the patient often.
While the focus of this product is on the functional benefit of easy transferring from one position to another, there is also the added benefit of comfort for the patient while they lay in bed. This is a padded product that has a soft microfiber surface to keep the individual comfortable. Anyone who struggles to turn in bed on their own can have this device used by a caregiver to more easily adjust and get into a good position. Any product that is going to be used to adjust or transfer a patient needs to be reliable and durable and that is what you get with this product from Handicare. Make positioning patients in bed and moving them to wheelchairs easier than it has ever been.
