There are many different types of devices that enable people to have more independence. As everyone has a different level of ability, not all products work for everyone and some may require training to get the hang of.
The emergency evacuation aids are used by carers to quickly evacuate a patient in an emergency situation.
When lifts are not accessible or a patient is unable to move quickly and easily in an evacuation situation, these products ensure a swift but safe and comfortable moving of the patient.
Our emergency evacuation product range caters to many different types of patients with differing needs. This includes options for smaller patients up to bariatric patients. Evacuation mats that can be used in unique situations ensure the patient is as comfortable as possible when they are moved. With all the evacuation mats, the patient can be moved without any need for a transfer. All evacuation mats have the appropriate handles and grips for carers to lift the patient safetly and easily. All aids ensure the patient will be secure and in the correct position at all times, with the use of buckles and grips.
When choosing an evacuation mat it is important to consider your own mattress to see whether a permanent evacuation sheet or overlay would be suitable.
When choosing a lifting cushion, consider both the seat and back support designs to decide which would offer you the most suitable support.
