ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
The Bed Sliding Strap (Padded) is used to assist in sliding a person up in bed.
This product can be useful for carers working alone in home care settings, supported accommodation, or residential aged care facilities where staffing may be limited. The Bed Sliding Strap is suitable for use on single through to queen-size beds.
WHO SHOULD USE THIS PRODUCT?
Suitable for people who require assistance repositioning in bed.
HOW TO USE THIS PRODUCT
We recommend using this item in conjunction with a Bed Slide Sheet. Use the large loop at the end of the webbing to secure (lasso) the strap around the bed leg or bed frame at the head end of the bed. The strap may be left in place for ongoing use.
Place a folded Bed Slide Sheet under the patient’s pillow and shoulders, then slide it down under their upper body as far as possible. Assist or ask the patient to bend their knees so their legs are supported. Pass the webbing strap under the bent knees and position the padded section behind the upper legs.
Move to the opposite side of the bed where the strap is secured. Standing beside the patient, hold two of the smaller loops sewn into the main strap. Hold only the loops within comfortable reach to avoid excessive bending. Step into a backward lunge to use body weight to gently pull the strap and assist the repositioning movement.
