Description
How can a bridge move and still be safe?
Differences in height can pose a big problem. And sometimes it is difficult to get close enough to ensure smooth transfers for patients and staff. RollerSlide, which is used for supine transfers, bridges gaps and moves with the patients during the transfer.
RollerSlide consists of a padded sliding board with a cover made from ULF (Ultra Low Friction), our own sophisticated sliding material that slides round the board during transfer. The sliding material reduces the friction under the patient, which facilitates the transfer and avoids unnecessary lifting for the staff. RollerSlide also ensures very gentle transfers for patients who are injured or very sensitive to pain.
RollerSlide is both easy to use and simple to maintain. The replaceable sliding cover can easily be cleaned and disposable covers provide for even further improved hygiene and less laundry.
Flexi and light versions
RollerSlide is available in several version and sizes. RollerSlide, flexi is a lighter and bendable version of RollerSlide. And RollerSlide, light is a light-weight version of RollerSlide, flexi. All three versions of RollerSlide are available in two lengths, one which covers the entire body and one wich covers the trunk. The longer versions are foldable in the middle. RollerSlide, flexi can be folded lengthwise along the centreline of the patient or the bed and effortlessly adapts to the surface it rests on. This version does not require a flat surface and therefore it is very practical for transfers from ambulance stretchers or other uneven surfaces. In all other respects, RollerSlide, flexi is similar to the basic RollerSlide model.
