Practical handling
Positioning
Multiglide can be positioned under pressure points –
where the user "clings" to the underlying surface.
Use
Positioning Multiglide for turning:
Fold the Multiglide – roll the user slightly to one side and
push the Multiglide in under the user's body (see Illustration 1). Turning the user will be easier if a draw sheet is
used (see Illustration 2). On the opposite side, the Multiglide can be folded out completely. If the user only needs
to be turned into the side position, the Multiglide can be
positioned just under one hip.
The Multiglide can also be positioned under the user's
thigh with the folded edge uppermost, i.e. facing the
user.
Unfold the Multiglide one wing at a time.
The user can now either be moved/turned as required.
Alternative method 1: Fold the Multiglide lightly. Assistant
A grasps the sheet on Assistant B's side of the bed, and
rolls the user gently. The Multiglide is pushed in under the
heavy pressure points (most often shoulders and hips).
Then the user is rolled back onto his/her back. If necessary, Assistant B can roll the user as described above. Assistant A smoothes the Multiglide (see illustration 2).
Turning with assistance from 1 or 2 assistants:The
user can also be turned in this way: one of the assistants
stands with one foot forward and grasps the sheet using a "ourbag grip" or an "axe grip". Then, with arms
stretched at the level of the user's shoulders and hips and
using weight transference, the assistant pulls the user
to the edge of the bed (see llustration 3). The assistant
bends slightly at the knee, grasps the sheet holding his/
her elbows close into the body. As the assistant straightens up, the user turns into the side position. If necessary,
the assistant on the opposite side can help by pushing
on the draw sheet and the Multiglide and supporting
the user when he/she reaches the side position. Alternative method 1: Assistant B rolls the user, while Assistant
A pulls on the sheet, thus turning the user into the side
position. Alternative method 2: Assistant B grasps the
draw sheet on the opposite side and turns the user using
weight transference.
To remove Multiglide:
The assistant glides one hand between the two layers of
sheet, locates the corner on the opposite side and pulls it
slowly towards him/herself, turning the Multiglide insideout.
Positioning the Multiglide higher up in the bed:
The user has slid down (see Illustration 4).
Position the pillow and the Multiglide under the user's
head.
Pull the Multiglide down until it is under the user's shoulder blades (see Illustrations 5 and 6).
If the user can lift his/her hips (if possible while the foot
end of the bed is raised slightly), the user's feet can be
positioned on a piece of non-slip fabric and the user will
glide further up in the bed. If necessary, a assistant can
push gently on the user's knee.
A Sling or One Man Sling can also be used to help raise
the user (see Illustration 7).
Alternatively, a lift can be used: raise the hips very slightly
from the bed and the user will glide slowly up in the bed
(see Illustration 8).
To remove Multiglide, a assistant pulls the corner towards
the opposite side. The assistant here grasps the corner
and pulls slowly, turning Multiglide inside-out. (see Illustration 9).
In/out of bed:
When a user is to get in or out of bed, the distance between Multiglide and the edge of the bed should be not
less than 15 cm.

Special features
Notice
Always check the product before use and after washing.
Never use a defective product. If the product shows signs
of wear-and-tear, it must be scrapped.
Read these instructions carefully.
It is important that assistants receive instruction in manual
handling. Etac oers advice and training for assistants.
For further information, contact Etac.
Always use the correct manual handling techniques.
Encourage the client to assist where possible.
To ensure that the client feels safe and that every manual
handling is smooth, always plan the manual handling in
advance.
MultiGlide can be used either over or under a draw sheet,
making the draw sheet easier to pull on.
The choice of model depends not only on the needs
but also on the user's resources. As a general rule: more
resources means less Multiglide.
There is a risk that the user may slide o. Never
leave the user alone on the edge of the bed.
Never leave the product on the oor.
Always make a risk assessment, and secure that the
assistive product can be used at the individual user
and in combination with other devices that it is safe
for the user and caregivers.
It is recommended that the guard rail is in place
when the user is left on the glide system, unless
a risk assessment has found that the user can be
safely left on the glide system without the need of
guard rails.
If in any doubt - please contact Etac.
Materials
Multiglide is made in 100% nylon.
There are two models:
A model where the top side is coated with polyurethane
to prevent liquid penetration.
Cleaning
The product should be checked regularly, preferably each
time it is used, and especially after wash.
Check that there is no damage to seams or fabric.
Never try to repair a product yourself.
Never use a defective product.
Outer surface: high friction. Inner surface: low friction.
Models where both inner and outer surfaces are
smooth.
Low friction on both inner and outer surfaces.
Washing instructions:
Do not use fabric softener – as this will reduce the glide
effect.
