Glide aids – patient transfer

Patients with various types of lower limb injuries or physical disabilities often require assistance with mobility and routine daily activities, such as getting out of bed or transferring to a wheelchair. To support these needs, specialized patient transfer aids and accessories—available in our assortment—are essential in ensuring comfort and safety for both the patient and caregiver.

Ergonomic glide mats equipped with comfortable handles make it significantly easier to reposition bedridden patients, reducing physical strain for medical personnel. In turn, rotating transfer platforms are particularly useful for patients with limited or impaired mobility, facilitating safe pivoting and repositioning from one surface to another. When lifting patients seated in wheelchairs, slide sheets and transfer cushions, designed to be placed under the seat and backrest, prove highly effective.

Patients also benefit from functional bed ladders, which, when installed near the bed, enable semi-independent repositioning or assist the patient in sitting or standing up. For completely immobile individuals, sliding sheets, low-friction draw sheets, or special transfer mattresses make lateral movement and transfer to stretchers or hospital beds much easier. Double-folded transfer boards, also available in our range, are another versatile solution in such scenarios.

In addition, transport straps—commonly referred to as small stretchers—are frequently used by paramedics, physiotherapists, and rehabilitation staff. These aids are ideal for short-distance patient handling, especially when conventional stretchers are impractical.
