APPLICATIONS
MaxiSlide is applicable in many resident handling situations such as sitting a person up, moving them up the bed, helping them to sit on the edge of the bed and turning them from one side to the other.
USE
The sheet is used folded upon itself, and placed under the user, on the bed by rolling them to the side and positioning the sheet under them. The fold is orientated to the direction of travel.
A second slide tube, or folded slide sheet is used under the feet / heels, reducing the friction between the body and the bed.
