The Ski Slide Pad

The Ski-Slide-Pad has evolved from one of our best known products, the Ski Pad. Designed for use in areas of restricted space, such as congested hospital wards, care homes and other buildings with narrow corridors and/or single width fire doors.

The main feature of the Ski-Slide-Pad is the built in slide sheet, which is fitted on both sides of the pad for ease of transfer from bed/floor onto the pad — this is especially useful for individuals who require greater assistance during the transfer process. The slide sheets can also be used as an extra cover, where exterior evacuation is required.

In the event of an emergency, the Ski-Slide-Pad is easily removed from its storage bag. The individual is quickly transferred on to the Ski-Slide-Pad, using the slide sheet and then secured onto the device with the seatbelt style straps.

The Ski-Slide-Pad’s polyethylene base allows the pad to be pulled easily over most surfaces and is easy to control when going down a staircase.

Mobility, positioning, clinical support, dignity, and the range of users the plan must cover.

02

Path

Stairs, landings, door widths, surface changes, corners, distance, and destination.

03

Responders

Realistic staffing by shift, handler roles, communication, and ergonomic considerations.

04

Readiness

Placement, inspection, cleaning, deployment time, drills, and refresher training.

How do I know whether this product fits our route?

What specifications should we verify?

Confirm current dimensions, rated capacity where applicable, handler guidance, materials, cleaning instructions, storage needs, and manufacturer instructions before selecting or using a device.

Should the product be included in drills?

Equipment is most useful when placement, roles, deployment, and movement have been incorporated into your organization’s training and emergency procedures.
