Action® Patient Positioning Device range

Some of our top care tips for the Action® Patient Positioning Device range are:

  • Prevent contact with any sharp objects, items or edges likely to cut, tear, puncture or otherwise compromise the product.
  • Do not expose product to direct or indirect sunlight.
  • Inspect product after each use, if any damage is found, we can assist with repair advice*
  • Clean product after each use. Avoid alcohol based or strong undiluted disinfectants to prevent hardening of product.
  • If using product beneath a sheet, ensure there are no wrinkles, to assist in even distribution of pressure and heat.
  • Fully support products using two hands or the cradling method during transport. Avoid lifting or carrying product by corners or edges to protect film surface from tears.
  • Products are best stored flat. Avoid stacking and piling where possible.
