Positioning

Practical handling

When moving a user from bed to chair or other seat,
position the wheelchair at an angle of 40˚ from the bed.
Distance between two supporting surfaces must not
exceed 25 cm (illustration 1). The black surfaces under the
Butterfly glide board must be supported.

Use

To use with glide wings

Fitting the glide wings:
If using glide wings, position these over the Butterfly
glide board so that they are flush with the cutout on the
glide board. Push the Velcro tapes to the back (and feed
through the handle). The tape is flush with both cutouts.
Turn the Butterfly glide board and fasten the Velcro tape.
The user leans away from the direction of movement and
either the assistant or the user him/herself pushes a small
part of the glide wing under the users buttock/thigh (Illus­tration 4). The user now leans in the direction of move­ment. Pushing him/herself away from the mattress, the
user now glides slowly over to the wheelchair (Illustration
5 + 6 + 7). Depending on how self-supportive the user is,
the assistant can help the user either by supporting the
upper body with a Support Belt or completing the move
using a Sling.

Position the glide board so that the cutout rests firmly
against the wheelchair wheel. The other side must be
positioned on e.g. the bed next to the users thigh (illus­tration 4).
Remember to apply brakes to lock wheelchair and bed
(illustration 2 + 3).

To use without glide wings:

The user can slide slowly or "shuffle" over to the wheel­chair by pushing him/herself away from the mattress
(Illustration 5 + 6 + 7).
Depending on how self-supportive the user is, the as­sistant can help the user either by supporting the upper
body with a Support Belt or using a Sling, MultiGlide,
towel or similar to complete the manual handling.

Tips

If a slant is established (e.g. if the bed is slightly higher than
the wheelchair), the user will slide more easily from one to
the other.

To prevent strain on the knees in connection with the
above moves, it may be beneficial to use a Pediturn turn­plate and a Support Belt, so that the user does not twist at
the knee and the assistant has a good grip on the user.

To remove Butterfly, the user moves his/her weight from the
glide board, lifts and then pulls it free.

advance.

There is a risk that the user may slide off. Never
leave the user alone on the edge of the bed.

Never leave the product on the floor.

Always make a risk assessment, and secure that the
assistive product can be used at the individual user
