Medical Device Class I
Using OneWaySlide
Alternative grips
The caregiver can either simply grasp the handle, or first
loop it around the wrist. Remember to work with knees
bent, back and arms straight, and shift the weight.
Positioning is easier if the
patient can lean forward.
If the patient is unable to
lean forward, one care-
giver can assist from the
front while supporting the
patient’s balance.
If the patient can lean
forward and has good
balance while seated, only
one caregiver is required.
Grasp the appropriate
handles and pull the
patient back by drawing
the OneWaySlide upward
along the backrest of the
wheelchair.
If the patient is heavy or if
the chair has a high back,
two caregivers can assist,
one working on either side.
Coordinate your efforts.
Raising the patient’s feet from the floor will relieve some of the weight of the thighs from the seat,
thereby making repositioning easier.
