Non Slip Mats
Manual

General Information

Thank you for choosing a Petermann product.
Please read the user manual carefully before using the product for the first time!
The current understanding in modern occupational health and safety is that people in nursing professions experience significant work-related physical strain. Back injuries are common. There are many situations in which a patient has to be transferred from a bed, a wheeled stretcher, ambulance stretcher, an X-Ray table or a wheelchair to a different stretcher or seat. The strain on the user and the patient / care-dependent can be reduced significantly through the use of raising aids.
The use of transfer aids should be conditional upon the user having learned to use the equipment properly. The user has to decide for themselves what equipment is suitable to the patient’s situation and the intended sequence of movements.
The Non Slip Mat is part of a product line which is used specifically to assist with positioning of patients in hospitals and other health care facilities, as well as in home care.
The product may only be used for the specified purposes and conditions.
The information in this user manual is for the patient as well as for the use.
Contact us if you require additional information or assistance using the Petermann product.

Safety information

WARNING indicates a potential danger which could lead to personal injury or material damage.

• It is the responsibility of the organisation / the user to determine, on the basis of the circumstances (weight / health condition of the patient) and the capabilities of the user, whether several users may be required for the transfer and/or whether additional safety measures are required.
• Defective products may no longer be used.
• Any use of the Non Slip Mat other than the intended use is prohibited!
• Ensure that the transfers are performed by the users in a back-friendly manner.
• Don’t use any pointy objects in combination with the Non Slip Mat, since this could result in damage to the product.
• Positioning aids are subject to a natural ageing process. Inspect the equipment regularly to ensure proper functionality.
• The use of non-standard cleaning agents or bleaching agents, alcohols, fabric softeners or other chemical laundry additives may lead to permanent deterioration of the Non Slip Mat properties.

2.2 Function check

Positioning aids are also subject to a natural ageing process. Inspect the equipment regularly and carefully, in particular before each use. Ensure that the product is in sound condition and that the material is not damaged. The rough surface of the anti-slip material prevents slipping. Check these properties – ideally in comparison to a new product.

• **** Defective products may no longer be used!

Using the product

1.1 Indication and further use

Due to the wide range of possible applications, the indications cannot be tied to a specific clinical picture, since positioning are suitable for all applications involving people requiring support in good seated positions. The Non Slip Mat reduces extension at the hip level and thus has a physiological anti-sliding effect.
This product may be reused.
Before reusing the product, be sure to perform a thorough function check (see item 2.2) as well as cleaning or disinfection of the product (see item 5).
1.2 Contraindications

Contraindications cannot be tied to a specific clinical picture. Under consideration of the safety information (see item 2), the product may not be used if the patient has any of the following conditions:

• Diagnoses for which “sitting” isn’t possible
• Fractures in the pelvic region
• Pain in the pelvic region

1.3 Application risks

• When placing the Non Slip Mat, the specifics of the clinical picture must be determined and taken into consideration → risk of worsening of the clinical picture
• The patient slides down despite positioning aid → positioning is not retained

1.4 Areas of application

The product can be used in home care and other health care facilities as well as hospitals.

1.5 Application illustration

1.6 Application

The Alpha Non Slip Mat prevents the feet from slipping in bed. When placed underneath the client’s feet in bed, the non-slip mat helps to prevent slipping while repositioning or raising the patient. It also makes it possible for the client moving toward the top of the bed by pressing with their feet.
The Alpha Non-Slip Mat on Role is a non-slip plastic film with a high level of friction that comes on a role. Cut the section or shape you want, and let the product cater to several anti-slip needs.
