EasyGlide
System
EasyGlide, oval is a sliding board which is used for supine transfers from one bed or stretcher to another but also for
positioning higher up in the bed. EasyGlide, oval can also be used to assist placement of a lifting sling both in the
recumbent and in seated positions.
The rounded shape and the smooth, low-friction top surface provide for easy sliding transfers and make the sliding
board very easy to position and remove.

Functional inspection

Visual inspection
Check the condition and function of the assistive device
regularly. Check to ensure that material is not worn or faded.
If there are signs of wear, the product must be discarded.
Stability test
Carefully bend the assistive device
to check strength and durability. The
board should be both elastic and
rigid. Discard the EasyGlide when its
strength and durability are diminished.
Transfer from bed to bed

The transfer slides are removed by grasping the
handles and drawing outward. Prevent the user's
body from moving by holding the user as the slides
are pulled out.

Instructions for use - English
Always read the user manual
Always read the manuals for all assistive devices used
during a transfer. Keep the manual where it is accessible
to users of the product. Always make sure that you have
the right version of the manual. The most recent editions
of manuals are available for downloading from our web-
site, www.directhealthcaregroup.com.
Important information
For the sake of safety, both underlying
surfaces should be firm when transfer-
ring between bed and gurney. Max.
weight of 135 kg applies for a distance
of max. 5 cm. Do not leave the user
unattended during a transfer situation.
The EasyGlide is placed under the hips and shoulders.
The user is turned on one side. A draw sheet can be used
to facilitate the transfer. Guide the EasyGlide in under the
user, between the bed sheet and the draw sheet. Press the
EasyGlide down into the mattress somewhat and push in.
Ensure that the weight of the hips and shoulders is centred
on the EasyGlide.
NOTE! If two or more transfer slides are used, take care to
ensure that the skin is not pinched between the transfer
slides.
Transfer on transfer slides.
Place the transfer slide between the two underlying surfaces.
By using a draw sheet, the caregiver's reach is extended,
allowing a better working stance.
Make sure the transfer slides are between the two under-
lying surfaces and that the gap between the beds does not
exceed 5 cm. Lean the user towards the transfer slides and
pull the draw sheet to transfer the user.
