EasySlide
The EasySlide is the ideal device for transferring from bed to stretcher and vice versa. The
physical burden and time required when using the EasySlide is minimal. The EasySlide is
suitable for most bed and chair transfers from and to the Marina.
Hoist
The Marina has been designed for use with a hoist. The shower stretcher has an
undercarriage height of 10 cm / 3.9 inch from a bed height of 45 cm / 17.7 inch.
Wheelchair
In lower settings of 45-55 cm / 17.7-21.7 inch, clients can be transferred from shower
stretcher to wheelchair and vice versa. An ideal device to be used during this operation
is the small EasySlide (and possibly a sliding board).
Bed
The Marina is primarily used to wash clients while lying down. Less able persons can be
moved, using the EasySlide, from any (high or low) bed to the Marina in a lying position.
The Marina must be brought to the same height as the bed to carry out this process.
