VENDLET Standard may be used for moving clients to a lateral,
prone, or supine posion, from one side of the bed to the oth-
er, or, to reposion them further up in bed. VENDLET Standard
may also be used in connecon with mobilizaon in and out of
bed.
VENDLET Standard protects the caregiver from physical strain
and heavy liing in connecon with the handling of immobile
clients. Clients are turned/handled by pressing a hand control
whereby the caregiver may support the client and ensure their
correct and comfortable posioning. This provides room for
increased awareness in the care, which boosts employee job
sasfacon and client well-being.
To the client, the turning process becomes uniform and steady
as the sheet supports the body over its full length.
The target group is adult clients who are being cared for,
dressed, washed etc. in bed. This will oen be clients who are
lied in and out of bed or clients who are mobilized using a
standing aid. Hence, the user will typically be clients with few
physical and/or cognive resources and palliave clients.
VENDLET Standard is also suitable for clients at risk of devel-
oping pressure ulcers. The uniform and steady transfer with
the sheet minimizes fricon and the associated shear that can
damage the ssue and cause pressure ulcers. Furthermore,
VENDLET Standard is oen seen to have a posive eect on
clients suering from spaal awareness.
The VENDLET Standard is intended for adult clients weighing
between 30 and 250 kg, with a height above 146 cm and a
body mass index (BMI) above 17.

ard . However, prior to the rst use of VENDLET Standard, it
is important to assess whether VENDLET Standard is suitable
for the client in queson. It may be necessary to take special
precauons, for example if a client is very restless in bed or has

Independent living
VENDLET Standard is not designed to be operated by the cli-
ents themselves. However, if a risk assessment made by the
responsible healthcare professional evaluate, that the client is
able to take part in the moving and handling procedures, e.g.
by operang the hand control, this can be a part of the rehabil-
itave eort.
The risk assessment should evaluate the clients physical,
cognive and palliave resources. The risk assessment must be
available by the bed and must be updated on a regular basis.

Environment
VENDLET Standard can be used in all applicaon environments

homes.
VENDLET Standard consist of two bars ed with motors. The
bar on the le side of the client has a blue color marking and
the bar on the right side of the client has a red color marking.
Each motorized bar has a groove which makes it possible to at-
tach the edge strip of the turning sheet to the bars. When the
bars are running, the turning sheet will be dragged between
the two bars, making it possible to move it from side to side.
A slide sheet is inserted under the turning sheet in order to
reduce the fricon of the turning sheet against the maress.
Four corner posts are ed with a build-in actuator in order to
raise and lower the bars with the press of a buon.
VENDLET Standard can be adjusted in height, which makes it
easy to adapt the system to the individual maress and bed.
Furthermore, VENDLET Standard consist of a control unit and
a hand control. The control unit is placed underneath the bed,
normally on the base frame.
When the bars are raised VENDLET Standard works as side
rails.
VENDLET Standard is telescopic in length and can be extended
from 200 to 220 cm.
