More Details

The Aero Transfer Slider is composed of a red square of very low friction nylon sheeting with a fluorescent green webbing handle encased in plastic at each corner. Designed for the client to be assisted with the transfer by two people, one on each side.

The Aero Transfer Slider is made of breathable material so if can be left under the passenger during the flight, however it is very slippery and care must be taken to ensure the passenger does not slip of the seat. If the slider is left under the passenger during the flight then it is essential that their seat belt remains buckled at all times.

This product should work for sliding any person while they are sitting, such as getting in and out of cars

It can be cleaned in a washing machine with water up to 80C. Air dry only, do not tumble dry or wring.

Method Of Use

The Aero Transfer Slider is inserted by folding it and sliding it behind the seated client and under the buttocks. One carer takes hold of two handles and pulls the client towards them in a sideways sliding action, at the same time, the other carer takes hold of other two handles and pushes the client away from them.

It can be used in conjunction with a slide board, but if the gap between the wheelchair and the seat is very small, it may be possible to do the slide without a slide board

Considerations

Although the Aero Transfer Slider comes with instructions for use the supplier recommends that prior to using this product, training in manual handling and the correct use of assistive devices should be
undertaken.
