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.

Transfer from bed to bed

  • EasyGlide is placed under the hips and shoulders.
  • The user is turned on one side. A draw sheet can be used to facilitate the transfer. Guide the EasyGlide in under the user, between the bed sheet and the draw sheet. Press EasyGlide down into the mattress somewhat and push in.
