    ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

    The Slide Board – Trolley (Hand Slots) is used in hospitals and care facilities to transfer patients between beds. It is made from durable, wipeable plastic for infection control. Hand slots are included to assist with carrying the board; these must not be used during patient transfer.

    WHO SHOULD USE THIS PRODUCT?

    Suitable for situations where a patient needs to be transferred horizontally between beds.

    HOW TO USE THIS PRODUCT

    Consult a manual handling advisor or suitably qualified therapist before use.

    Generally, log roll the patient using a draw sheet and position the slide board beneath them. Roll the patient back so their head and hips are supported on the board, as these are the heaviest areas. The legs may be guided across manually.

    Ensure the gap between beds is minimized and that brakes are applied to both beds. Transfer the patient using approved manual handling techniques.

    PRODUCT MATERIALS

    Plastic.

    Non-Slip Tape

    Some manufacturers have non-slip tape on the back of their Slide Boards (also known as Transfer Boards). The non-slip tape is not really necessary, as the Slide Boards do not move a lot when they are correctly positioned. Non-slip tape can make it harder to position the Slide Board under a patient, and to remove the board after the transfer. If the Slide Board is used upside down, the non-slip tape will stop the person from moving. By not having any non-slip tape the Pelican Slide Boards can be used either way up. Also the non-slip tape can make it difficult to keep clean, particularly if the patient is incontinent or there may be some other cross infection reason. Remember if the person is sitting on a chair, or on a bed or operating table and the Slide Board is put under them, the Slide Board can be contaminated on both sides i.e. the top and bottom of the Board. This can be from the patient’s clothing, and from where they are sitting on the chair, bed, etc. as the chair will also be contaminated. If the non-slip tape is on the underside of the board, it means the board cannot be easily wiped clean. If a customer particularly wants non-slip tape, this can be purchased from most hardware shops and the customer can easily put non-slip tape on the Boards.

    Slide the Patient – Not the Board

    Remember: Slide the patient across the board. Do not slide the board, with patient on top, across the bed. Hand Slots are designed when carrying the board, not for when transferring patients.
