52% of accidents and injuries that are suffered by
nursing staff occur during manoeuvres in and
around the bed.
Nurses have always recognised that the principle of
sliding patients in bed reduces the effort, and have
traditionally used sheets and even plastic bags to
aid this movement.
The Maxislide is a unique, ergonomically designed
device having ultra-low friction properties, which
aid carers in moving or positioning patients whilst,
at the same time, encouraging good posture without
causing undue stress to either the patient or carer.
The Maxislide will also encourage patients to help
themselves wherever possible.
The Maxislide CD-ROM is available which can be
used as a user guide; its step-by-step instructions
take the user through the most commonly used
manoeuvres, showing at each stage how the
Maxislide should be used.
