The Sit, Slide & Stand Pad will allow a patient to sit down at the front of a chair, and then slide their hips back into the chair. It will only slide backwards, so the patient will not slide forward again.

If the patient cannot slide themselves back into the chair, they can be helped to slide back by one or two nurses pulling the pad back with the blue webbing handles. The patient can be helped to stand by the nurses pulling the handles.

Once they are correctly positioned in the chair, the patient should maintain good spinal posture and can lean back against the chair, but they should not slide off it. This product will be good for the type of patient who normally gently slides off the chair, as this can be used instead of a Safety Belt. It is best if patients wear trousers as some dress fabrics could ride up.
