Lateral transfer with MaxiSlide Sheet
and pull straps
(8 Steps)
1. Adjust the bed into an appropriate height for the
caregivers, avoiding the need to overstretch.
2. Make sure the patient is laying properly on the
sliding sheet. Place an extra sliding aid on the
receiving surface to reduce friction, unless risk
assessed otherwise.
NOTE
A tubular sliding aid can be added
underneath the patient's feet to prevent
friction or shear injury. Place the closed
side of the tube in the same direction as the
movement.
3. Attach four pull straps, equally distributed along
the sliding sheet, to the sewn-in handles.
4. Place the receiving surface close to the transfer
A
surface and lock the castors. Make sure the
B
receiving surface is slightly lower than the transfer
surface.
5. (If used) Place a at, rm transfer board to bridge
the gap between the two surfaces. Roll the
patient gently using the sliding sheets to t the
transfer board underneath the patient.
6. (Caregivers A and B) Grip the pull straps and take
a walk stance. Start moving the patient slowly
with the help of the caregiver on the opposite
side. (See Figure 10)
7. (Caregiver C) Push the patient gently
simultaneously as the caregivers on opposite side
pull the patient.
8. Make sure the patient is placed on the centre of
the receiving surface. (See Figure 11)

A
removal techniques.
