The Transfer Sheet is designed to be fitted to the Etac Immedia 4WayGlide LPL Patient Adjustment Mattress and together they form a comprehensive and safe transfer system.

How Does the 4WayGlide Nylon Sheet Work With the 4WayGlide Mattress?

The elastic straps allow the Sheet to be fixed to the 4WayGlide Mattress securely. Together, the Transfer Sheet and Mattress work to allow for facilitated patient movement up and down their beds.

How Do the Non-Slip Features Work?

The Etac Immedia 4WayGlide features a removable, reusable, outer layer that can be restored as pleased. When a patient wants more freedom or to move up and down the mattress themselves, they can remove it. However if they require more stability or are worried about slipping, the non-slip layer can be easily restored by themselves or a carer.
