Locomotor Maxi Mover Quilted Slide Sheet

The Locomotor Maxi Mover Quilted Slide Sheet is supplied complete with a waterproof cover which can be used separately as a slide sheet.

The Locomotor Maxi Mover Quilted Slide Sheet is commonly used for patient handling tasks such as transfer for hospital trolley to bed, operating table or examination couch or patient turning.

The Locomotor Maxi Mover Quilted Slide Sheet is a full body length quilted cylinder with a low friction inner surface allows patients to be transferred or repositioned without the need to lift.

How to use the Locomotor Maxi Mover Quilted Slide Sheet

1. The  Locomotor Maxi Mover Quilted Slide Sheet is used with a standard sheet, roll the patient partly onto one side and tuck the Maxi Mover with a sheet or transfer sheet on top of it under the patient.
2. Roll the patient onto the product. Ensure that the surface to which the patient is to be transferred to is directly next to, and at the same height as, the surface from which the patient is being transferred from. Make sure that all castors are braked to prevent any lateral movement of the bed/trolley/examination couch/etc. If a gap of 100mm persists, then use a bridging board.
3. Take hold of the sheet or the straps on the transfer sheet and slide the patient across form one surface to another. This operation prevents shearing to the patient’s body, eliminates uncomfortable manual handling and the need to lift the patient between two surfaces.
4. Once the transfer has been completed, Locomotor Maxi Mover Quilted Slide Sheet and the sheet can be removed by rolling the patient
5. For Patient turning - A sheet is placed on top of the  Locomotor Maxi Mover Quilted Slide Sheet and the patient lies on top of the sheet. To effect a turn, simply take hold of the sheet close to the patient’s hip and shoulder girdle and pull smoothly outwards and upwards. The patient will rotate onto their side.
6. Alternatively, slide the patient across the bed and then roll the patient onto one side. Reverse the procedure to turn the patient onto their back and onto their side.Turning a patient in this way eliminates the shearing to the patient’s body and the need to lift. It also maximises the comfort to the patient because of reduced need for manual handling.Always ensure two members of staff are present, one at either side of the bed, when turning a patient.
