Practical handling

Positioning

• 2Move incl. nylon cover and/or tube foil is positioned under the user by rolling the user slightly away from the direction of movement, preferably using an absorbent sheet. 2Move is positioned under the user after which the user is rolled back.
• 2Move should only be placed a few inches under the user. Position the user’s head and legs carefully onto the board. If possible, it is helpful to cross the user’s legs so that the leg that is closest to the board is lowest with the other leg crossed over it.

Use

• By applying a little pressure to the shoulder and hip, the carer can move the user over onto the other bed. If a sheet is used, it is a good idea to position 2Move underneath the sheet. Positioning then takes place as described above, but using the sheet to pull on (Illustrations 1 and 2).
• 2Move can easily be removed by sliding 2Move out from under the user: The carer places one hand over the board and the other under it. Then, the carer eases the nylon material away with the upper hand while pulling towards him/herself with the lower hand.
• 2Move can also be removed by first removing the board from the cover and then removing the cover by pulling on the lower layer of the cover.
