Description
The SWIFT®UltraSlide® System has been developed to replace manual repositioning. This exposes caregivers to increased risk of neck, shoulder, and back injuries. Ultraslide is a cost-effective, low-friction repositioning system. It is intended to aid caregivers to safely and easily perform handling tasks with little physical strain.
The Ultraslide Sytem
The Ultraslide System has a bottom Sheet that is designed using the patented Smart Sheet and has a low-friction panel down the centre. The system can be used:
- On its own, for patients who are nearly independent with bed mobility.
- Together with Swift Slider, for use with more dependent, heavier patients who have little or no mobility. Also for patients that require extensive or total assistance for repositioning in bed. This system is not ideal for restless, agitated patients.
- Together with the Swift Soaker Pad, best option for restless and agitated patients
