Description
to BetterLiving Patient Handling Slide Gloves are made of silicone coated PU, featuring a non-slip interior and a low friction silicone exterior. These are useful for positioning a patient on a slide sheet. The carer is able to maneuver the patient easily along the slide sheet as the gloves remove the friction between the sheet and the carers hands. Transferring is a 4 stage process. Feet, buttocks, shoulders, head.
These gloves are useful as a dressing aid for arms and legs. They reduce the friction between the skin and a piece of clothing.
Slide Gloves are used in conjunction with a hoist or lifting aid which will reduce shearing as well as easing movements.
Occupational Therapists will find slide gloves ideal to control the bony areas whilst seating a patient on a cushion.
