Description:
"No-Lift" Turner Turning a resident can lead to serious staff back injuries and usually requires at least two staff members. The TURNER, a flat tube of fabric with a slippery surface, provides valuable assistance. Simply postion the resident on top of the tube just as you would with a draw sheet. Now grab the reinforced edges of the top tube layer and pull it toward you. No lifting and less back strain! Once the TURNER is put in postion (which generally requires two people), usually only one staff member is needed to move the side-lying resident onto her other side. Since the TURNER eliminates draw-sheet drag and shear, the resident's skin integrity is never compromised. Our research team has turned residents up to 250 lbs. Flat dimensions: 29" x 52". Black. Machine wash, air dry. Disinfectant safe. Remove turner after each use.
