What Does the OneWay Glide Positioning Aid Do?

The Immedia Glide Cushion allows easy sliding in one direction, whilst resisting sliding in the other direction. It is used to maintain the user in a correct seated position, reducing shear and friction that can cause decubitus. It also reduces the risk of shear and friction during manual handling, minimising the pull on the skin and avoiding sores forming on the pelvic bones.

Who Can Use the Immedia Glide Cushion?

This product is suitable for preventing sliding forward while sitting as well as facilitating independent or assisted positioning back in a chair. It is ideal for use when the patient needs repositioning repeatedly, and can be used independently or with a carer. Please note that, due to its velour construction, this cushion must be used on a textile surface.

Why Choose a Long Positioning Cushion?

The length of this cushion allows repositioning to be performed several times in one application, ideal for patients who are more prone to sliding. The handles allow the caregiver to assist with positioning.

How Do I Use the OneWay Glide Cushion?

Using the Immedia OneWay Glide eases repositioning when the user slides forward in the wheelchair. To move backwards in the wheelchair, the user must lean forward, hold the armrest and push toward the backrest using their arms and legs. Once upright, the unique design of the cushion will prevent sliding again.
