Practical handling
Positioning
TransferMattress including nylon cover and/or tube foil is positioned under the user by rolling the user slightly away from the direction of movement, preferably using a draw sheet. TransferMattress is positioned under the user after which the user is rolled back.
TransferMattress should only be laid a few inches under the user. Position the user’s head and legs carefully onto the mattress. If possible, it is helpful to cross the user’s legs so that the leg that is closest to the glide mattress is lowest with the other leg crossed over it. It is also helpful to start the transfer with a slight push (Illustration 1).
Use
By applying a little pressure to the shoulder and hip, the carer can move the user over onto the other bed/table. If a draw sheet is used, it is a good idea to position TransferMattress underneath the draw sheet. Positioning then takes place as described above, but using the draw sheet to pull on (Illustrations 1 and 2).
TransferMattress can easily be removed by sliding the glide mattress out from under the user: The carer places one hand over the mattress and the other under it. Then, the carer eases the nylon material away with the upper hand while pulling towards him/herself with the lower hand.
