1General 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.
The Non Slip Mat is 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.
Contact us if you require additional information or assistance using the Petermann product.

2Safety information

Function check
Positioning aids are also subject to a natural ageing process. Inspect the equipment regularly and carefully, in
particular before each use. Ensure that the product is in sound condition and that the material is not damaged. The
rough surface of the anti-slip material prevents slipping. Check these properties - ideally in comparison to a new
product.
➢Defective products may no longer be used!
1Using 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 Mat reduces extension at the hip level and thus has a physiological anti-sliding effect.
This product may be reused.
Before reusing the product, be sure to perform a thorough function check (see item 2.2) as well as cleaning or
disinfection of the product (see item 5).
