uni slide Available in two sizes, the uni slide prevents patients from sliding down in a chair or bed. The uni slide allows a one directional slide [back into a chair or up in a bed] then locks, preventing the patient sliding forward. This reduces the amount of patient handling required to reposition the patient and thus reduces the risk of back injury to the nurse or carer associated with these tasks. quilted uni slide The quilted uni slide works in the same way as the standard uni slide with the addition of a quilted outer surface that gives added comfort for the patient. quilted uni flat slides Developed as an alternative to the tubular uni slides, the quilted flat uni slide is available in two sizes and incorporates a series of handholds which allow a positive grip when carrying out a patient handling task.
