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.

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.
