ResQslide Board Chair Strap Kit

The ResQslide Board & Chair Strap Kit is used to slide someone from a wheelchair to an evacuation device on the floor, such as the ResQmat, ResQpod or ResQme (all sold separately) which can slide down stairs. If a Patient is in an armchair, electric or manual wheelchair and they need to be taken out of the chair in an emergency, this could be a very difficult and possibly dangerous task for the Patient and the Carers. The ResQslide Board is extremely strong and will bend when in use but not break.

Key Features

• Designed for safe transfer from wheelchair to evacuation devices.
• Strong and durable material that bends without breaking.
• Includes a Chair Strap for added security during transfers.
• Suitable for use in emergencies where lifts cannot be used.

Additional Information

Sometimes in an emergency there may not be enough time to use the Chair Strap, so we suggest staff try to use the ResQslide Board without the Chair Strap. The outer surface may mark easily and a new board may look second hand when new. The advantages of using this material outweigh the disadvantages.

Important

Warning: We recommend that all staff should have instruction on using the ResQslide Board by a qualified Manual Handling Instructor. Reading Instructions and watching videos is just a guide. A Manual Handling Instructor may alter the methods we suggest for some Carers and some patients. Under supervision of a Manual Handling Supervisor, practise the manoeuvres with able-bodied people. If the pretend 'Carers' or the 'patient' thinks it is unsafe, always STOP and recover before an accident happens, and then recommence.
General Manual Handling Warning: Manual Handling products are designed to assist carers to help patients. They will not make the carer stronger or fitter, but with correct training and use of the products, should make manual handling easier and safer for both staff and patients. When training, practise with an able-bodied colleague. If any procedure is not comfortable or is difficult and puts the carer or patient in a dangerous position, the participants should call out to stop the manoeuvre, recover and recommence. Never jeopardise your health by straining, twisting or being incorrectly positioned when manual handling. Always select the most appropriate equipment for the patient’s current condition and if in doubt, use mechanical equipment. Ask your Manual Handling adviser for individual guidance.
Correct Buckle Threading: It is vital that the buckles on this product are correctly fitted. Contact us if you need to order a replacement buckle if one is broken.
