Bariatric products offered by the company include walking belts, slide board mats, trolley slide boards, car seat slide pads, sliding trolley sheets, slide & turn sheets, slide & turn hoist sheets, bed roller sheets, leg lifters, wheelchair boot sliders, bed steps and lifting slings. Slide board mats are used with trolley slide boards to move a patient from the bed to a shower trolley or operating table. Bariatric slide board mats are provided with foam padding to protect the patient from the hard surface of the trolley. These bariatric products come with pulling straps to enable the medical staff to have sufficient hold while moving the patient. The foam can be removed from the mat for hand or machine wash.
Trolley slide boards are plastic boards used to slide patients from the bed to a trolley and are designed to bridge the gap between the bed and trolley for enhanced safety. Sliding trolley sheets are used with slide boards to slide a patient from the bed to a trolley. These bariatric products can also be used without the slide boards depending on the weight of the patient.
