General

Features

The One Way Glide Long (OWG Long) is a device used to

maintain the client in a correct seated position, reducing

shear and friction that can cause decubitus and reduc-

ing the risk of shear and friction during manual handling

(moving the client backwards in the chair) by minimising

the pull on the skin.

The OWG Long is ideal for use when the client needs

repositioning repeatedly. If the wheelchair can be tipped,

the client can glide with the minimum of assistance back

into the correct seated position.

Alternatively, the functional handles can be attached to

the lift. The carer stands in front of the client, supporting

and guiding the client easily while the lift slowly rises.

Use

Positioning

Position the OWG Long in the chair before the client.

The OWG Long can be positioned in three different ways.

Fold the OWG in the middle so that the green velvet sides

are up and down. Push the functional handle out be-

tween seat and back. If this is not possible, with the OWG

still folded, push the top part and the functional handle

up over the chair back.

Use

The client has glided forwards in the wheelchair (Illustra-

tion 1).

The carer leans the client forward to alter the pressure

points – the client's back must be free of the chair back.

If the client has poor balance, he/she can be supported

using a positioning wedge or pillow, Alternatively, a carer

can support the client from the front.

The carer behind the chair can support the client with one

or both hands on the client's shoulders. The carer treads

down on the functional handle and the client glides

slowly back into position. This can be repeated if neces-

sary (Illustration 2).

The carer can also stand in front of the client. By giving

the client a slight push, the client will glide back in the

chair. A ”thigh walk" technique can also be used (Illustra-

tions 3 and 4).

If there is no free space between the chair seat and the

chair back, position OWG up over the chair back (Illustra-

tion 3). To glide the client forwards, the client is ﬁrst leant

forwards (as above). The carer behind the chair grasps the

functional handles along the edge of the pillow and leans

back, while the client glides slowly back into the original

position.

The carer can also use the "thigh walk" technique or help

the client move backwards, standing in front of the client.

Alternatively, the functional handle can be hung up on

the slingbar. This method is the best way in which to

reposition the client with minimum strain on the car-

ers. The carer raises the lift and pushes the client gently

backwards.

NB: Be aware of the client's centre of balance so that the

client does not roll forward and out of the chair.

Remember to apply the brake to lock the wheelchair

before using OWG.

There is no need to remove OWG after use.

Finally, unfold the OWG so that only one layer remains

with the functional handle up over the chair back. The

green velvet side should be facing the client.

Position the client as normal in the chair.

Use

Always check the product before use and after washing.

Never use a defective product. If the product shows signs

of wear-and-tear, it must be scrapped.

Read these instructions carefully.

It is important that carers receive instruction in manual

handling.

Etac offers advice and training for carers.

For further information, contact Etac.

Always use the correct manual handling techniques.

Remember to use the client's resources.

Special features

Never leave OWG Long on the ﬂoor.

The material under OWG must be a fabric onto which the

velvet surface can "grip".

Clothing material (trousers/skirt) – if this material is

smooth, it will glide on the velvet top side!

Care is needed to avoid reddening of the skin in clients

who are at risk of developing decubitus.

To ensure that the client feels safe and that every manual

handling is smooth, always plan the manual handling in

advance.

If in any doubt - please contact Etac.

The pillow consists of a single layer with a velvet top side

quilted to a nylon backside with 2 velvet strips and a

black nylon functional handle.

The product should be checked regularly, preferably each

time it is used, and especially after wash.

Check that there is no damage to seams or fabric.

Never try to repair a product yourself. Never use

a defective product.

Washing instructions:

Do not use fabric softener – as this will reduce the glide

effect.
