More Information

• Application:
  - Patient Positioning: Place one or two bolsters on the bed with the Velcro facing towards the outside and the black non-skid surface in contact with the bed. These bolsters should be placed near the outside edge of the bed assuring that they dont extend beyond the edge . Next, place either transfer sheet over one or two bolsters with the Velcro on the sheet facing downward. Assure that the Velcro side of the sheet makes secure contact with the bolster Patient Transfer: One Bolster
  - Lower the bed rail on the opposite side of the bed (from where the wedge is placed) and release the Velcro between the transfer sheet and bolster. Then slide the sheet over the bed while holding the light-beige webbing. These sheets were designed for sliding or transferring residents and not for patient lifting. 
  Patient Transfer: Two Bolsters
  - First remove the bolster closest to the direction that the patient is being transferred. Next follow directions above for one bolster.
• Caution:
  - Before each use check the transfer sheets for rips or tears. If a rip is noticed, discard the item.
  - Do not use the transfer sheets for lifting and only use for sliding, positioning or transferring residents.

  - The foam wedges can be wiped clean using a damp cloth.
