Description
Constructed from a strong nylon material sewn into a long roller band, the ErgoSlide LT has four rows of webbed handles around the full length, which are used to perform the lateral transfer.
A Caregiver’s Lateral Transfer Device
- Laterally transfer patient using one or two Caregivers.
- Easily folds for “no bulk” storage.
- Low cost alternative to slide boards and lifts.
The ErgoSlide® LT can be used to move a patient from bed to bed, gurney/stretcher to bed, or exam table to bed without pulling the patient’s body, arms or legs, and without the caregiver having to lift. Even more, when using the LT, there is not a need for multiple caregivers to execute the move. That’s right, now one caregiver can easily perform a lateral transfer without using mechanical lifts, assuming the caregiver has assessed that he or she will be able perform the move.
