Sit Slide Stand Pad

The Sit Slide & Stand Pad is a one way slide pad, which locks on itself when someone tries to slide forward. It allows a person to sit down at the front of a chair, and then slide their hips back into the chair. This product could be useful for someone who normally gently slides off the chair and may possibly replace a belt type restraint. The Pad does not build up heat, is comfortable to sit on and is virtually unnoticeable when in use.

Key Features

• Locks on itself when someone tries to slide forward
• Allows a person to sit down at the front of a chair, and then slide their hips back into the chair

Additional Information

Either one or two nurses can use the Pad using the webbing handles. You can also help a person stand up by using the webbing handles. They should be able to lean back against the chair, but they should not slide off it. It is best if patients wear trousers as some slippery dress fabrics could ride up. Test to make sure the pad does not interfere with any special pressure care cushions. You may be able to use this product underneath a cushion.

Important

Consult your Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist or Back Care Specialist when using Manual Handling Products. This product is to help with the prevention of pressure sores. Sometimes, due to the patient deteriorating, the product may become unsuitable. Continuous monitoring is necessary and alternative products may be recommended.

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.
