Non Slip Cushion
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.
Non Slip Cushions are 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.

Using the product
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 Cushion reduces extension at the hip level and thus has a
physiological anti-sliding effect.

item 2.2) as well as cleaning or disinfection of the product. (see item 5)

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
Application risks
- When placing the Non-Slip Cushion, 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
Areas of application
The product can be used in home care and other health care facilities as well
as hospitals.
Application illustration
Application
The Non-Slip Cushion reduces the likelihood that a patient who is sitting in
bed will slide down. It is positioned underneath the patient’s thigh.
Sitting is an important step in patient mobilisation. A good sitting position
