Improvia Positioning Bed Pad 34"x36" with 6 Reinforced Handles, Quick-Drying, Washable, Waterproof, Reusable, Mattress Protection, for Lifting, Turning, Transfer, Elderly and Incontinence Patients.

Muy útil

Está muy bien el producto, el único inconveniente es que del lado del paciente debería tener una superficie que disminuyera el deslizamiento o bien alguna forma en la que sujetarse para evitar que el paciente se deslice. Solo la usamos por el momento para hacer más para arriba a una paciente en un plano inclinado, funciona bien, pero hay que hacerlo muy despacio o se desliza solo la almohadilla.

No se ha dado la ocasión de confirmar la absorbencia pero me ha ayudado mucho para "rodar" hacia un lado y otro de la cama a mi paciente. Subirla ya es otra cuestión, pero es demasiado pesada y yo no soy lo suficientemente fuerte. Entonces, no se desliza tan fácilmente, pero le doy unos jalones bastante extremos y los aguanta sin broncas, esto con una paciente de aproximadamente 80 kg.

These are the best pads I've used. After many washing they are very soft and keeps the bed dry.

Pros It does provide moisture barrier and washed easily, I only partially machine dried on medium heat then air dry as I do most laundry. The side loop handles are great for 2 people, but it is the extra two handles I could turn towards patient's head and get at head of bed to pull them up by myself that has been the biggest help. Handle loops seem sturdy so far with 200lbs. The fabric is soft, slightly fuzzy/texture which is comparable to some of the large blue bed pads, but glad to report that it doesn't slide around under the patient if I leave it under them, but it does slide easy enough when I pull towards the head of the bed. If I strategically place it, I may be able to reposition 3 times on a tall person. It will be moving up the bed with them, but doesn't slide back down. Funny, but in getting used to it, the tag telling which side up helps. Cons, but not really I would like two more loop handles at the other end, just because I occasionally forget to check, and lets face it, there's already a lot going on to think about. For a tall person especially it could be a tad longer. This is the first with loops I've purchased or used but I'm pleased. I would purchase again.
