Placement/removal of EasyGlide
Active patients can transfer themselves with the help of EasyGlide. Grasp the armrest and lean
over towards the wheelchair. It is important to remember to lean once more towards the bed
when the transfer is complete, so as to be able to move back in the middle of the chair and slide
all the way back.
If the patient requires support and assistance during the transfer, the EasyGlide should be
complemented with an EasyBelt/FlexiBelt.
Place the wheelchair at an angle towards the side of the bed, and as close
to the bed as possible. Remove the armrest that is closest to the bed and
remove leg supports. Place the EasyGlide like a bridge between the bed
and the wheelchair. If it is an EasyGlide model on which one long side can
be bent, this should be placed against the wheelchair wheel.
To position the EasyGlide under the patient, lean the patient slightly in the
opposite direction.
Using EasyGlide
The caregiver can work from behind or in front of the patient.
Tips! Our FootStool can be used to advantage to raise the knees
EasyGlide can also be used for transfers into and out of a car.
When the transfer is complete, EasyGlide is removed by bending upwards.
