Maxi-Mover Quilted Slide Sheet

Maxi-Mover Quilted Slide Sheet

A full-body-length quilted cylinder with a low-friction inner surface allows patients to be transferred or repositioned without the need to lift. The MAXI-MOVER / MAXI-MOVER PLUS is supplied complete with a waterproof cover which can be used separately as a slide sheet (code LOCO-013 / LOCO-067).

Can be used for:

1) Transfer for hospital trolley to bed, operating table, or examination couch.

2) Patient turning.

Instructions For Use:

1) Patient transfer:

The MAXI-MOVER / MAXI-MOVER PLUS is used with a standard sheet or the LOCOMOTOR TRANSFER SHEET (LOCO-009). Roll the patient partly onto one side and tuck the MAXI-MOVER / MAXI-MOVER PLUS with a sheet or TRANSFER SHEET on top of it under the patient.

Roll the patient onto the product. Ensure that the surface to which the patient is to be transferred 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. Take hold of the sheet or the straps on the LOCOMOTOR TRANSFER SHEET and slide the patient across from one surface to another. This operation prevents shearing to the patient’s body and eliminates uncomfortable manual handling and the need to lift the patient between two surfaces.

Once the transfer has been completed, the MAXI-MOVER / MAXI-MOVER PLUS and the TRANSFER SHEET can be removed by rolling the patient.

2) Patient Turning:

A sheet is placed on top of the MAXI-MOVER / MAXI-MOVER PLUS 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.

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 maximizes the comfort of the patient because of the reduced need for manual handling. Always ensure two members of staff are present, one on either side of the bed when turning a patient.
