AliMed No-Lift Turner with Handygrips

The AliMed No-Lift Turner with Handygrips is an essential safety solution for hospitals, nursing homes, and home care environments. Specifically engineered to reduce caregiver back injuries, this friction-reducing aid facilitates the rotation and repositioning of patients without the need for manual lifting. Its "Zero-Friction" tubular design utilizes a slippery interior surface, allowing caregivers to slide and turn residents smoothly. By utilizing reinforced handygrips, staff can maintain proper body mechanics while ensuring patient dignity and comfort during routine positioning changes.

Clinical Features & Benefits

• Friction-Reducing Tubular Design: The slippery inner surface eliminates the resistance between the patient and the bed, making turns effortless.
• Reinforced Handygrips: High-visibility yellow nylon webbing handles provide a stable grip for caregivers to pull the patient into a side-lying position.
• No-Lift Technology: Specifically designed to slide patients rather than lift them, significantly lowering the risk of musculoskeletal injuries for healthcare staff.
• Durable & Hygienic: Made from high-quality fabric that is machine-washable (air dry) and safe for use with standard hospital-grade disinfectants.
• Stays in Place: Can safely remain under the patient between repositioning intervals (provided side rails are used), streamlining care protocols.

The Standard for Safe Patient Handling & Mobility

Healthcare professionals trust the AliMed No-Lift Turner for patients managing limited mobility, post-operative recovery, or chronic conditions requiring frequent turning to prevent pressure injuries. By placing the Turner under the patient's shoulders and buttocks, a single caregiver can often perform tasks that typically require two people. This efficiency is vital in high-traffic clinical settings where staff safety and patient throughput are priorities.

Its robust construction supports a wide range of patients, with the Bariatric model engineered for weights up to 750 lbs. The simple "draw-sheet" application method ensures it can be integrated into existing care routines with minimal training, while the non-slip exterior (when not being pulled) keeps the patient stable on the mattress.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can this be used to move a patient from a bed to a stretcher?

No. The No-Lift Turner is designed specifically for turning and repositioning *within* a bed. For lateral transfers between surfaces, we recommend using a dedicated transfer board or shifter.

Is it safe for patients with sensitive skin?

While the Turner can stay under most patients, it should be removed between uses for individuals with extremely sensitive skin or those at high risk for skin breakdown to ensure maximum air circulation.

How do I clean the Turner?

For routine cleaning, the Turner can be wiped down with a spray disinfectant and towel dried. For heavy soiling, it is machine washable with mild detergent; however, it must be air-dried to preserve the slippery interior coating.
