Practical handling
MultiGlide Single Patient Use can be positioned under pressure
points – where the user “clings” to the underlying surface.
Take a polybag from the box. Mark the polybag with user’s
name, and place the polybag on the bed with the string.
Take MultiGlide Single Patient Use out of the polybag, and use
it for repositioning and transfer. If it is not soiled after use, place
MultiGlide Single Patient Use in the polybag again so it is ready
for use the next time. If soiled, dispose of the product according
to local and national regulations.
Positioning
Use
Positioning MultiGlide Single Patient Use for turning:
Fold MultiGlide Single Patient Use – roll the user slightly to
one side and push MultiGlide Single Patient Use in under the
user’s body (see Illustration 1). Turning the user will be easier
if a draw sheet is used (see Illustration 2). On the opposite side,
MultiGlide Single Patient Use can be folded out completely.
If the user only needs to be turned on their side, MultiGlide
Single Patient Use can be positioned just under one hip.
MultiGlide Single Patient Use can also be positioned under the
user’s thigh with the folded edge uppermost, i.e. facing the user.
Unfold MultiGlide Single Patient Use one wing at a time.
The user can now either be moved/turned as required.
Alternative method 1: Fold MultiGlide Single Patient Use loosely.
Carer A grasps the sheet on Carer B’s side of the bed, and gently
rolls the user. MultiGlide Single Patient Use is pushed in under
the heavy pressure points (most often shoulders and hips). Then
the user is rolled back onto his/her back. If necessary, Carer
B can roll the user as described above. Carer A smoothes out
MultiGlide Single Patient Use (see illustration 2).
Turning with assistance from 1 or 2 carers:
The user can also be turned in this way: one of the carers stands
with one foot forward and grasps the sheet using a “flourbag
grip” or an “axe grip”. Then, with arms stretched at the level
of the user’s shoulders and hips and using weight transference,
the carer pulls the user to the edge of the bed (see Illustration 3).
The carer bends slightly at the knee, grasps the sheet holding
his/her elbows close into the body. As the carer straightens
up, the user turns on their side. If necessary, the carer on
the opposite side can help by pushing on the draw sheet and
MultiGlide Single Patient Use and supporting the user when
he/she reaches the side position. Alternative method 1: Carer
B rolls the user, while Carer A pulls on the sheet, thus turning
the user on their side. Alternative method 2: Carer B grasps the
draw sheet on the opposite side and turns the user using weight
transference.
To remove MultiGlide Single Patient Use:
The carer glides one hand between the two sheet layers, locates
the corner on the opposite side and pulls it slowly towards him/
herself, turning MultiGlide Single Patient Use inside out.
Positioning MultiGlide Single Patient Use higher up in the bed:
The user has slid down (see Illustration 4).
Position the pillow and MultiGlide Single Patient Use under
the user’s head. Pull MultiGlide Single Patient Use down until it
is under the user’s shoulder blades (see Illustrations 5 and 6).
If the user can lift his/her hips (if possible while the foot end of
the bed is raised slightly), the user’s feet can be positioned on
a piece of non-slip fabric and the user will glide further up in the
bed. If necessary, a carer can push gently on the user’s knee.
A Sling or OneManSling can also be used to help raise the user
(see Illustration 7).
Alternatively, a hoist can be used: raise the hips very slightly
from the bed and the user will glide slowly up in the bed (see
Illustration 8).
To remove MultiGlide Single Patient Use, a carer pulls the corner
towards the opposite side. The carer here grasps the corner
and pulls slowly, turning MultiGlide Single Patient Use inside-out
(see Illustration 9).
In/out of bed:
When a user is to get in or out of bed, the distance between
MultiGlide Single Patient Use and the edge of the bed should
be not less than 15 cm.
Prone Positioning
To have a better workings environment and something to pull
in, it is recommended to have a drawsheet or bedsheet over the
MultiGlide. A wide Multiglide or two wide open version gives the
best result, alternative use two.
To the side the user is turned place the hand under the users
hip with palm up.
Remove the head-end of the bed. If needed add the normal
pillows or positioning cushions used on top of the patients body.
Place a drawsheet or bed sheet on top, and tuck the sheet
round the user like a cocoon.
One carer secure the patients head and on carer on each side
to support the user and push and pull.
Pull and push the patient to the opposite bedside where the
hand is under the hip (illustration 10)
Turn the user to prone positioning. (illustration 11+12) Secure
that the user has the right positioning. (Illustration 13)
