EasyGlide, extra long is a sliding board that is used for supine transfers of
users from one bed or stretcher to another. EasyGlide, extra long is used when
the gap is max. 15 cm/5,9’’. For safety reasons, EasyGlide extra long should
have a firm underlying surface on both sides when transferring.
The rounded corners and the smooth, low-friction top surface provide for easy
sliding transfers and make the sliding board very easy to position and remove.
The double anti-slip tape on the underside prevents the board from sliding
against the underlying surface during transfer.
