Locomotor Extra Long Ultra Slide Sheet

The Locomotor Extra Long Ultra Slide Sheet is ideal for turning a patient for x-ray, surgical procedures, recovery, pressure care, change of dressing or cleaning. It can also be used for sitting up a patient up in bed for feeding or relief of chest pain etc, and moving a patient on or off a bed, trolley or examination couch without painful sheering to the buttocks.

The Locomotor Extra Long Ultra Slide Sheet can be used for three basic patient handling tasks without the need to lift and without the risk of sheering to the patients skin. The Locomotor Extra Long Ultra Slide Sheet is a fabric cylinder with a low friction inner surface allowing an individual to be repositioned without the need to lift and can also be used for a variety of repositioning tasks. The multidirectional glide of the fabric allows patient’s to be moved in any direction on the bed.

How to use the Locomotor Extra Long Ultra Slide Sheet

• Patient turning - Roll the patient onto the Locomotor Slide Sheet ensuring that the hip and shoulder are over the slide sheet. To turn the patient, take hold of the top layer of the slide sheet close to the patient’s hip and shoulder and pull gently outwards and upwards. The patient will turn onto his/her side. Alternatively, slide the patient across the bed first and then roll the patient back into the middle of the bed.
• To remove the sheet, take hold of the bottom layer of the sheet and gently slide out from beneath the patient.
