Practical handling
Place 4WayGlide NylonSheet with locking system on the
bed. The “this side up” label should be at the head end
(Illustration 1). Secure the elastic band around the bed mattress
(Illustration 2). If required, lock the glide system so that the non-
slip material is visible.
First t the lower part of TwinSheet4Glide’s lower part. Next t the
top part of TwinSheet4Glide (Illustration 3) and join the Velcro.
Position the user so that the TwinSheet4Glide seam does not
risk causing pressure sores (Illustration 4).
If required, t the corner straps around the mattress corners
Position the user in the bed.
The product can be positioned under the user if he/she is
permanently bedridden - use the same method as for changing
sheets.
Positioning
Use
Important: Always conduct a risk assessment with the intended
user before installing and use!
2 carers:
1 lock:
To unlock/lock the system, one carer on each side holds the
handles attached to the nylon sheet hanging over the foot end
of the bed and pulls them slowly upwards towards the head
end (Illustration 5). When the carers feel resistance, they must
stop pulling. Then one carer takes hold of the handles on the
opposite side of the glide system, and the other carer helps
to pull the locking system up past the hip area (Illustration 6).
The carers then do the same on the opposite side.
The glide system is now unlocked and the user can be moved in
all directions by pulling the handles under the mattress at the
shoulders and hips (Illustration 7).
When the carers have nished repositioning/moving the user,
the glide system should, if required, be relocked unless the risk
assessment states something else (Illustration 8).
2 locks:
To unlock/lock the system, one carer on each side takes hold of
the handles attached to the nylon sheet hanging over the foot
end of the bed, folds and pulls them slowly upwards towards the
head end (Illustration 9).
One carer on each side takes hold of the handles attached to
the nylon sheet hanging over the head end of the bed, and pulls
then slowly upwards towards the foot end (Illustration 10).
The glide system is now unlocked and the user can be moved in
all directions by pulling the handles under the mattress at the
shoulders and hips (Illustration 7).
When the carers have nished repositioning/moving the user,
the glide system should, if required, be relocked unless the risk
assessment states something else.
3 locks:
To unlock/lock the system, one carer on each side takes hold
of the handles attached to the nylon lock from the nylon sheet
hanging over the bed side. Fold the nylon lock and carefully
push the nylon lock under the user. The carer on the opposite
side takes hold of the handles and slowly pulls and fastens
the ap with the Velcro. Carry out the same procedure with all
3 locks (Illustration 11).
The glide system is now unlocked and the user can be moved in
all directions by pulling the handles under the mattress at the
shoulders and hips (Illustration 7).
When the carers have nished repositioning/moving the user,
the glide system should, if required, be relocked unless the risk
assessment states something else.
Sliding down:
Unlock the glide mattress (Illustrations 5+6 (1 lock) or 9+10
(2 locks) or 11 (3 locks)). The carers take hold of the straps
under the user at the shoulders (and hips, if necessary) and
then slowly pull the user upwards using weight transference
(Illustration 12).
Single handed care/“2 to 1”/1 carer:
Unlock the system as described before one of the carers
has to go from one side to the other and, if required in the
risk assessment, secure the opposite side with the bed rail
(Illustration 13).
One carer can easily use the hoist to help turn the user.
Attach the functional handles of the mattress to the sling bar.
Raise the hoist a few centimetres until the weight of the user is
eased and unlock the system. Raise the hoist until the user is in
the correct horizontal position. The carer can either push down
on the glide mattress or pull on the handles to make sure the
user is turned in the middle of the bed (Illustrations 14+15).
To support the user during personal care, the carer can leave
the top part attached to the hoist and remove the lower part to
give easy access to the lower back area (Illustration 16).
Sliding down:
Unlock the glide mattress (Illustrations 5+6 (1 lock) or 9+10
(2 locks) or 11 (3 locks)). The carers push in GlideMattress at
the hip and shoulder and the user will move to the opposite
side diagonally. Then take hold of the handles at the shoulder
and hips and reposition the user in the middle of the bed.
Alternatively take hold of the handles at the shoulder and hips
and pull the user towards you and reposition the user in the
middle of the bed.
Remember to use weight transfer (Illustration 17).
Supine positioning:
If the user has to remain on his/her side for personal care or
positioning, the user can be supported using a positioning
wedge or positioning pillows placed according to their needs
(example in Illustration 18).
After moving the user, it will often be benecial to smooth out
the glide system under the user. To do this, pull diagonally on
the corners, preferably one layer at a time

Seated positioning:
Lock the glide system. If reduced freedom of movement in the
upper body is required in the seated position, you can lock the
glide system at both sides at the shoulders by tting corner
straps around the mattress (Illustration 19). Remember to bend
the knees rst before raising the head end (Illustration 20).
The head end can now be raised, without the user sliding down
(Illustration 21).
The “5 smiles” technique:
To ensure the most comfortable position (seated or lying), it is
imperative that the carers remove any tension occurring on the
skin when the user’s head or feet are raised.
First Smile: move and reposition the pillow (Illustration 22).
Second and third Smile: relieve the skin tension under the
shoulders (Illustration 23) on each side. Use the Immedia
MultiGlide glove and place the gloved hand under the user
and slowly move it down towards the bed end.
Fourth and fth Smile: relieve the skin tension under the legs
(Illustration 24) one leg at the time. Use the Immedia MultiGlide
glove and place the gloved hand under the buttocks and slowly
move it towards the bed end.
Seated position:
Once the carer has ensured that any tension on the skin is
released, they can support the user in the seated/lying position
with positioning wedges or positioning pillows.

Notice
Always check the product before use and after washing.

wear-and-tear, it must be scrapped.
Read these instructions carefully.
It is important that carers receive instruction in manual
handling. Etac offers advice and training in the safe use of the

Always use the correct manual handling techniques
Encourage the user to assist where possible.
To ensure that the user feels safe and that every manual activity
is smooth, always plan the manual handling in advance.
There is a risk that the user may slide off. Never leave
the user alone on the edge of the bed.
Never leave TwinSheet4Glide or a nylon sheet on the
oor.
Always conduct a risk assessment, and ensure that
the assistive product can be used for the intended
user and, in combination with other devices, is safe
for both user and carers.
It is recommended that the guard rail is in place when
the user is left on the glide system, unless a risk
assessment has found that the user can be safely left
on the glide system without the need of guard rails.
Always lock the glide system when you have
completed the transfer.
Do not use TwinSheet4Glide as a sling.
To reduce sliding to the side, if the head end is
elevated, t the corner straps around the bed
mattress.
Always remove the “Loop Washing Strap” after
washing and drying and before use.
Ensure that the 2 Velcro parts can be fastened.
If in any doubt - please contact Etac.
