RoMedic EasyGlide User manual

Manual no: 00809 En Ver. 1 090129
EasyGlide is used for transfers in the seated position between wheelchair and bed, toilet or car seat. EasyGlide is
available in a range of sizes to meet most transfer needs. The smaller model is often used by active patients who can
manage transfers on their own.
EasyGlide is part of a series of different models of transfer assistive devices. The choice of model and material is deter-
mined by the patient’s functional capacity and the situations in which the product is to be used.
RoMedic’s products together form the SystemRoMedic concept, which takes a holistic approach to patient transfers.
SystemRoMedic has four categories of transfers: transfer, positioning, support and lifting.
Visual inspection
Check the condition and function of the product regularly, and always after laundering. Check to ensure that the fabric is
not worn, damaged or bleached. If there are signs of wear, the product must be discarded.
Read instructions for all assistive devices used in connection with transfers.
To prevent discomfort, exercise care and caution when using the product.

Functional inspection
Carefully bend the EasyGlide to check strength and durability. The mat should be both elastic
and rigid. Discard the EasyGlide when its strength and durability are diminished.
Placement/removal of EasyGlide
Place the wheelchair at an angle towards the side of the bed, and as close to the bed as
possible. Remove the armrest that is closest to the bed and remove leg supports. Place the
EasyGlide like a bridge between the bed and the wheelchair. If it is an EasyGlide model on
which one long side can be bent, this should be placed against the wheelchair wheel.
To position the EasyGlide under the patient, lean the patient slightly in the opposite direc-
tion.
When the transfer is complete, EasyGlide is removed by bending upwards (see image).
A maximum patient weight of 135 kg applies where the dis-
tance between transfer locations is 10 cm or 20 cm, depend-
ing on product size. 10 cm applies for EasyGlide 60x33,
60x25 and 45x20. 20 cm applies for EasyGlide 75x33.

Active patients can transfer themselves with the help of EasyGlide. Grasp the armrest
and lean over towards the wheelchair. It is important to remember to lean once more
towards the bed when the transfer is complete, so as to be able to move back in the
middle of the chair and slide all the way back.
If the patient requires support and assistance during the transfer, the EasyGlide should
be complemented with an EasyBelt/FlexiBelt.
The caregiver can work from behind or in front of the patient.
Tips! Our FootStool can be used to advantage to raise the knees.
EasyGlide can also be used for transfers into and out of a car.
