How Do I Use the Slide Sheets?
Before you can use the slide sheet to manoeuvre your patient, you must be familiar with the proper handling technique. Begin by placing the sheet under the patient, moving them accordingly so that they are positioned centrally on top of the sheet. Next, grasp the sheet by its edge and manoeuvre your patient safely into the required position.

Maintenance of the Slide Sheets
This Slide Sheet Pack is patient-specific and so is intended for use by one patient only, while they are in care. Dispose of the slide sheet(s) after the patient in question no longer has use for them.
Please note that this product is not designed for lifting. Any manoeuvre that is carried out while using this pack must be done so without lifting the patient.
