Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant de modifier rapidement la position d'une personne à mobilité réduite. Elle concerne plus particulièrement un dispositif prévu pour permettre de modifier la position de cette personne, par transfert entre deux supports horizontaux disposés à proximité l'un de l'autre, sans être forcément contigus ni sur le même plan, comme par exemple d'un lit sur un brancard ou inversement, ou d'un siège vers un lit ou inversement, ou par basculement d'un allongement dorsal vers une position latérale.The present invention relates to a device for quickly changing the position of a person with reduced mobility. It relates more particularly to a device provided to allow the position of this person to be changed, by transfer between two horizontal supports arranged close to each other, without necessarily being contiguous or on the same plane, such as for example a bed on a stretcher or vice versa, or a seat to a bed or vice versa, or by tilting a dorsal elongation to a lateral position.

Le déplacement de personnes malades ou blessées, d'un support vers un autre ou sur le même support, par exemple dans le cadre d'interventions d'urgence ou en milieu hospitalier, comporte de très nombreuses contraintes, tenant d'une part à la situation de la personne concernée qui n'est pas autonome, d'autre part à la configuration des lieux et du matériel.The displacement of sick or wounded persons, from one support to another or on the same support, for example in the context of emergency or hospital interventions, involves a great many constraints, holding on the one hand the the situation of the data subject who is not autonomous, and the configuration of the premises and equipment.

Certaines personnes, tels les brûlés ou les grands accidentés, présentent des lésions qui interdisent tout choc ou frottement. Or, les personnels ambulanciers ou hospitaliers doivent parfois effectuer un transfert dans des espaces très exigus et non adaptés. De plus, les supports recevant le patient, même placés côte à côte, ne sont pas toujours au même niveau. Egalement, l'espace disponible de part et d'autre d'un support peut être limité.Some people, such as burned or injured, have lesions that prohibit any shock or friction. However, ambulance or hospital personnel must sometimes transfer in very small and unsuitable spaces. Moreover, the supports receiving the patient, even placed side by side, are not always at the same level. Also, the space available on either side of a support can be limited.

La principale difficulté consiste donc à déplacer la personne avec la rapidité exigée par les circonstances en évitant tout frottement, à-coup ou glissade incontrôlés. Il peut s'agir par exemple de passer une personne en position allongée sur le dos vers une position latérale, pour dispenser des soins ou effectuer une toilette. Il peut s'agir aussi de transférer une personne d'un lit fixe vers un lit mobile, ou d'un lit mobile vers une table d'opération - ou inversement - dans le cadre d'une intervention chirurgicale. Il peut s'agir encore de déplacer un blessé à partir d'un brancard vers un lit, ou encore une personne d'un fauteuil vers un lit ou inversement.The main difficulty is therefore to move the person with the speed required by the circumstances avoiding any friction, jerk or slipping uncontrolled. This may be for example to move a person lying on his back to a side position, to provide care or perform a toilet. It may also be to transfer a person from a fixed bed to a moving bed, or a moving bed to an operating table - or vice versa - as part of a surgical procedure. It may still be to move an injured person from a stretcher to a bed, or a person from a chair to a bed or vice versa.

Les techniques connues imposent souvent des manipulations pouvant être inconfortables ou même douloureuses pour la personne à transférer, en raison des frottements, glissements ou basculements qui ne peuvent être évités pour réaliser le changement de position.Known techniques often impose manipulations that can be uncomfortable or even painful for the person to transfer, because of friction, slippage or tilting that can not be avoided to achieve the change of position.

Par ailleurs, les dispositifs actuels peuvent causer chez les personnels les utilisant au quotidien des gênes voire des lésions plus ou moins graves dues à des efforts physiques répétitifs et intenses, comme par exemple en cas de manipulations de personnes à forte carrure. Ces mêmes dispositifs sont souvent particulièrement encombrants et de ce fait pénibles à transporter. Certains matériels existants ne sont pas pratiques et exigent un certain temps pour être mis en place, alors même que le transfert peut présenter un caractère d'urgence.Moreover, the current devices can cause in the personnel using them in the daily of genes or even lesions more or less serious due to repetitive and intense physical efforts, as for example in the case of manipulations of persons with strong build. These same devices are often particularly bulky and therefore difficult to transport. Some existing materials are impractical and require some time to be put in place, even though the transfer may be of an emergency nature.

Les solutions connues de l'art antérieur ne permettent pas de répondre à ces différentes contraintes d'une manière totalement satisfaisante. Notamment, elles exigent l'intervention de plusieurs personnes et/ou un espace de travail important, et exigent soit une infrastructure spécifique et fixe, ou des opérations de montage préalables.The solutions known from the prior art do not make it possible to respond to these various constraints in a completely satisfactory manner. In particular, they require the intervention of several people and / or a large workspace, and require either a specific and fixed infrastructure, or prior assembly operations.

Le document EP 0 609 758 décrit à titre de variante un support pour le corps humain composé d'une plaque dont l'une des extrémités est recourbée et l'autre comporte un orifice d'accrochage, et d'un sac comportant une ouverture médiane. La plaque est prévue pour être insérée dans le sac, jusqu'à amener l'orifice d'accrochage de la plaque en correspondance de l'ouverture du sac, pour permettre le passage d'un crochet., le déplacement d'un patient couché sur ce support étant effectué au moyen d'une sangle et de cordes de suspension enroulées sur des moyens d'enroulement fixés sur une structure de plafond.The document EP 0 609 758 an alternative embodiment of a support for the human body consisting of a plate whose one end is bent and the other has a hooking orifice, and a bag having a central opening.

Le document JP1-201255 décrit un dispositif comportant une assise entourée d'une bande souple dont les extrémités sont reliées à des rouleaux superposés, qui sont montés sur une structure d'enroulement latérale faisant partie intégrante du support de réception. Après avoir déroulé la longueur de bande nécessaire, on positionne le patient sur l'assise, puis on enroule la bande dans le sens inverse pour provoquer le déplacement.The document JP1-201255 discloses a device comprising a seat surrounded by a flexible band whose ends are connected to superposed rollers, which are mounted on a side winding structure forming an integral part of the receiving medium.

Le document GB 2 399 282 décrit une chaise motorisée dont l'assise peut coulisser sur un côté vers une position inclinée, pour aider une personne en position assise à rejoindre un lit situé en contrebas. Pour effectuer le déplacement, le patient doit s'asseoir sur la chaise spécialement équipée, puis actionner la commande motorisée de l'assise jusqu'à la position souhaitée avant de se laisser glisser doucement sur le support de réception.The document GB 2 399 282 describes a motorized chair whose seat can slide on one side to an inclined position, to help a person in a sitting position to reach a bed below. To perform the movement, the patient must sit on the specially equipped chair, then operate the motorized control of the seat to the desired position before sliding gently on the support.

Le document US 2002/0134902 décrit un dispositif de translation pour aider une personne en position assise à rejoindre ou quitter un support, ce dispositif comportant deux rails latéraux reliés par des barres d'extrémités pour former un cadre, et une plaque insérée à demeure entre les deux rails pour coulisser entre les barres d'extrémités. Pour effectuer le déplacement, on positionne le dispositif entre les supports de départ et d'arrivée, puis le patient doit s'asseoir sur la plaque qu'il déplace ensuite lui-même le long des rails tout en se tenant au cadre.The document US 2002/0134902 discloses a translational device for assisting a seated person to join or leave a support, which device comprises two lateral rails connected by end bars to form a frame, and a plate permanently inserted between the two rails for sliding between the end bars. To perform the movement, the device is positioned between the starting and ending supports, then the patient must sit on the plate which he then moves himself along the rails while standing on the frame.

La présente invention se propose donc de remédier aux différents. inconvénients exposés ci-dessus en réalisant un dispositif selon la revendication 1, permettent de modifier rapidement et sans risque la position d'une personne à mobilité réduite, d'un support vers un autre support, ou sur le même support.The present invention therefore proposes to remedy the different. disadvantages described above by providing a device according to claim 1, can quickly and safely change the position of a person with reduced mobility, a support to another medium, or on the same support.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte au moins un élément de translation avec une embase associant une partie mobile recevant le patient et une partie fixe assurant la translation:The device according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises at least one translational element with a base associating a mobile part receiving the patient and a fixed part ensuring the translation:

The present invention will be better understood through the description given hereinafter of nonlimiting examples of embodiment, and with reference to the appended figures, in which:
  • the figure 1 is an elevational view of a first embodiment of the translation device according to the invention,
  • the figure 2 is an elevational view of a second embodiment of the translation device according to the invention,

En référence aux figures annexées, et plus particulièrement aux figures 1 à 4, le dispositif de translation selon l'invention est composé d'au moins un élément de translation (1) pouvant être réalisé dans un matériau quelconque, mais de préférence lisse.With reference to the appended figures, and more particularly to Figures 1 to 4 , the translation device according to the invention is composed of at least one translational element (1) can be made of any material, but preferably smooth.

Plus précisément, l'élément de translation (1) est composé de deux parties distinctes, à savoir une embase (2) plane dans un plan horizontal et un support (3).More specifically, the translation element (1) is composed of two distinct parts, namely a base (2) plane in a horizontal plane and a support (3).

L'embase (2) comporte deux côtés longs (2a et 2c), respectivement deux côtés courts (2b et 2d), qui sont symétriques. Les côtés longs (2a et 2c) sont rectilignes et définissent les bords latéraux de l'embase (2). Les côtés courts (2b et 2d) peuvent être soit rectilignes, soit, de préférence, arrondis, et définissent les bords avant et arrière de l'embase.The base (2) has two long sides (2a and 2c), respectively two short sides (2b and 2d), which are symmetrical. The long sides (2a and 2c) are rectilinear and define the lateral edges of the base (2). The short sides (2b and 2d) can be either straight or, preferably, rounded, and define the front and rear edges of the base.

Le support (3) comporte également quatre côtés symétriques, dont deux (3a et 3c) au moins sont rectilignes et disposés parallèlement aux côtés long (2a et 2c) de l'embase, pour définir les bords extérieurs du support. Les deux autres côtés (3b et 3d), qui définissent les bords avant et arrière du support, pourront être rectilignes, ou, de préférence, arrondis.The support (3) also comprises four symmetrical sides, at least two of which (3a and 3c) are rectilinear and arranged parallel to the long sides (2a and 2c) of the base, to define the outer edges of the support. The other two sides (3b and 3d), which define the front and rear edges of the support, may be rectilinear, or, preferably, rounded.

L'embase (2) et le support (3) coopèrent de manière à permettre le déplacement de l'embase (2) selon son axe longitudinal, en suivant un parcours rectiligne entre des positions d'extrémité définies par les bords avant et arrière du support (3) lorsque celui-ci est maintenu fixe en position sous l'effet d'une force verticale, par exemple le poids exercée par une personne.The base (2) and the support (3) cooperate so as to allow the displacement of the base (2) along its longitudinal axis, following a rectilinear path between end positions defined by the edges front and rear of the support (3) when it is held fixed in position under the effect of a vertical force, for example the weight exerted by a person.

A cet effet, le dispositif (1) comporte des moyens de translation de l'embase (2) par rapport au support (3) lorsque celui ci est en position fixe.For this purpose, the device (1) comprises means for translating the base (2) relative to the support (3) when the latter is in a fixed position.

Les moyens de translation de l'embase (2) par rapport au support (3) associent des moyens de guidage et des moyens de préhension et de traction.The translation means of the base (2) relative to the support (3) combine guide means and gripping means and traction.

L'embase (2) comporte au moins une poignée (6) d'extrémité, formée d'une pièce par découpe dans la matière et qui constitue les moyens de préhension et de traction.The base (2) comprises at least one end handle (6) formed in one piece by cutting in the material and which constitutes the gripping and pulling means.

Selon une première forme de réalisation du dispositif de translation selon l'invention représentée à la figure 1, le support (3) est constituée d'une plaque (13) dont la surface inférieure comporte au moins un rail longitudinal rectiligne (14) prévu pour engager au moins une rainure (15) ménagée en correspondance sur la paroi supérieure de l'embase (2). Le rail (14) et la rainure (15) constituent les moyens de guidage. Lorsque le support (3) est maintenu fixe sous l'effet d'une force verticale, on peut coulisser l'embase le long du rail (14) inséré dans la rainure (15) en exerçant une traction au moyen de la poignée (6).According to a first embodiment of the translation device according to the invention shown in FIG. figure 1 , the support (3) consists of a plate (13) whose bottom surface comprises at least one rectilinear longitudinal rail (14) designed to engage at least one groove (15) formed in correspondence on the upper wall of the base (2). The rail (14) and the groove (15) constitute the guide means. When the support (3) is held fixed under the effect of a vertical force, the base can be slid along the rail (14) inserted into the groove (15) by exerting traction by means of the handle (6). ).

Bien que dans l'exemple représenté, la plaque (13) du support (3) ne comporte qu'un seul rail (14), il est cependant parfaitement possible de prévoir deux ou plus rails insérés dans autant de rainures sur l'embase (2). Pour des raisons évidentes d'équilibre des forces et contraintes exercées sur la plaque lors de l'utilisation du dispositif, le rail (14), et donc la rainure (15) qui lui correspond, seront disposés dans une position-centrale-(en cas de rail unique), ou symétriquement et à égale distance des bords (en cas de rails multiples).Although in the example shown, the plate (13) of the support (3) has only one rail (14), it is however perfectly possible to provide two or more rails inserted in as many grooves on the base ( 2). For obvious reasons of balance of the forces and stresses exerted on the plate during the use of the device, the rail (14), and thus the groove (15) which corresponds to it, will be arranged in a position-central- (in single rail case), or symmetrically and equidistant from the edges (in case of multiple rails).

Selon une variante particulièrement avantageuse, représentée à la figure 2, l'embase (2) est reliée à une butée (4) dans un plan vertical par un pli (5) formant un angle α compris entre 45 degrés et 135 degrés,According to a particularly advantageous variant, represented in FIG. figure 2 , the base (2) is connected to a stop (4) in a vertical plane by a fold (5) forming an angle α between 45 degrees and 135 degrees,

Le pli (5) reliant l'embase (2) et la butée (4) peut, mais pas obligatoirement, être constitué d'une charnière souple ou être formé par simple pliage du matériau composant l'élément de translation (1).The fold (5) connecting the base (2) and the stop (4) may, but not necessarily, be constituted by a flexible hinge or be formed by simply folding the material component of the translation member (1).

Les dimensions de l'embase (2) peuvent varier en longueur comme en largeur en fonction des besoins, mais l'embase (2) est de préférence plus longue que la butée (4).The dimensions of the base (2) can vary in length as in width as needed, but the base (2) is preferably longer than the stop (4).

La butée (4) peut comporter à son extrémité libre des moyens de préhension et de traction similaires à ceux décrits ci-dessus, par exemple une poignées (6'), de préférence formée par découpe dans la matière. De manière préférentielle, les extrémités libres de l'embase (2), et de la butée (4) sont arrondies.The abutment (4) may comprise at its free end gripping and traction means similar to those described above, for example a handle (6 '), preferably formed by cutting in the material. Preferably, the free ends of the base (2) and the abutment (4) are rounded.

Selon une autre forme possible de réalisation qui ne appartient pas à l'invention représentée à la figure 3, le support (3) est constituée d'une plaque (23) dont les bords latéraux (24) sont repliés pour être engagés à coulisse sur les bords longs (2a et 2c) de l'embase (2). La plaque (23) se présente ainsi sous forme d'un manchon ouvert vers le bas, apte à être engagé à coulisse sur l'embase (2).According to another possible embodiment which does not belong to the invention shown in FIG. figure 3 , the support (3) consists of a plate (23) whose lateral edges (24) are folded to be slidably engaged on the long edges (2a and 2c) of the base (2). The plate (23) is thus in the form of a sleeve open downwards, adapted to be slidably engaged on the base (2).

Selon une autre forme possible de réalisation qui ne appartient pas à l'invention représentée à la figure 4, le support (3) se présente sous forme d'une plaque (33), de préférence rectangulaire, dont les côtés les plus longs (33', 33") sont insérés dans une découpe (34) formée dans l'embase (2). Selon cette variante, la découpe (34) est réalisée par retrait partiel de matière sur la surface supérieure de l'embase (2), en laissant subsister un fond. La découpe (34) se présente alors comme un creux ménagé dans le corps de l'embase (2), avec une profondeur suffisante pour permettre l'insertion de la plaque (33) sans que celle-ci ne dépasse au dessus de l'embase et sans aucun espace de part et d'autre, à l'avant et à l'arrière. La surface extérieure de la paroi supérieure du support (3) est ainsi située dans le même plan que la paroi supérieure de l'embase (2).According to another possible embodiment which does not belong to the invention shown in FIG. figure 4 , the support (3) is in the form of a plate (33), preferably rectangular, whose longer sides (33 ', 33 ") are inserted in a cutout (34) formed in the base (2 According to this variant, the cutout (34) is made by partial removal of material on the upper surface of the base (2), leaving a bottom, and the cutout (34) is then like a hollow formed in the body of the base (2), with a sufficient depth to allow the insertion of the plate (33) without the latter protruding above the base and without any space on either side, to the The outer surface of the upper wall of the support (3) is thus located in the same plane as the upper wall of the base (2).

Les figures 5a et 5b illustrent les phases d'utilisation du dispositif selon l'invention pour réaliser une translation d'un support vers un autre support.The Figures 5a and 5b illustrate the phases of use of the device according to the invention to perform a translation of a support to another medium.

Pour transférer le patient (7) d'un premier lit (8) vers un second lit (9) disposé côte à côte, L'opérateur glisse l'élément de translation (1) sous le patient (7) à déplacer, celui-ci venant reposer sur le support (3). Eventuellement, l'opérateur procède de même pour mettre en place un deuxième, voire plusieurs autres éléments de translation identiques au premier (figure 5a). Puis l'opérateur exerce une traction, de telle sorte que l'embase (2) soit progressivement déplacée par simple coulissement vers une position opposée à la position de départ. (figure 5b) Le patient qui repose sur le support (3) est alors entraîné en douceur et sans à coups grâce aux butées (4).To transfer the patient (7) from a first bed (8) to a second bed (9) arranged side by side, the operator slides the translational element (1) under the patient (7) to be moved, ci coming to rest on the support (3). Optionally, the operator proceeds in the same way to set up a second or several other translational elements identical to the first ( figure 5a ). Then the operator exerts traction, so that the base (2) is gradually moved by simply sliding to a position opposite to the starting position. ( figure 5b ) The patient who rests on the support (3) is then driven smoothly and smoothly thanks to the stops (4).

Aucune autre intervention n'est nécessaire, puisque ce coulissement s'effectuera par simple action des forces exercées, d'une part par le poids de la personne à déplacer agissant sur le support (3), et d'autre part de la traction imprimée par l'opérateur sur l'embase (2) au moyen des poignées (6, 6').No other intervention is necessary, since this sliding will be effected by simple action of the forces exerted, on the one hand by the weight of the person to move acting on the support (3), and on the other hand of the printed traction by the operator on the base (2) by means of the handles (6, 6 ').

Le patient ne subit aucun frottement, puisque c'est l'embase (2) qui se déplace et pas le support (3) sur lequel il repose.The patient does not undergo any friction, since it is the base (2) which moves and not the support (3) on which it rests.

Cette modalité facilite grandement l'utilisation du dispositif pour assurer la translation d'une personne allongée ou assise, tout en limitant les risques de glissement ou retournement de cette personne, ce qui peut avoir son importance lorsqu'il est impératif d'éviter tout mouvement à raison par exemple des lésions du patient.This modality greatly facilitates the use of the device to ensure the translation of a person lying or sitting, while limiting the risk of slipping or flipping of this person, which may be important when it is imperative to avoid any movement for example, lesions of the patient.

En effet, grâce au coulissement de l'embase (2) sous le support (3), une traction ou une poussée minimale suffira à réaliser la translation. Ceci est particulièrement approprié, notamment lorsque la personne à déplacer se trouve dans une position délicate ou lorsqu'elle présente un poids important qui rendrait difficile tout mouvement générant des frottements.Indeed, thanks to the sliding of the base (2) under the support (3), a minimum traction or thrust will suffice to achieve the translation. This is particularly appropriate, especially when the person to be moved is in a delicate position or when it has a significant weight that would make any friction-generating movement difficult.

La découpe (6) en extrémité de l'embase (2) permet de glisser et de retirer le dispositif de translation sous une personne sans la blesser ni la gêner. Les poignées (6) en extrémité des butées (4) permettent de contrôler le glissement, et si opportun ou nécessaire, d'exercer un léger mouvement de levage, par exemple si le support de réception est plus haut que le support d'origine.The cutout (6) at the end of the base (2) allows to slide and remove the translation device under a person without hurting or annoying. The handles (6) at the ends of the stops (4) make it possible to control the sliding, and if appropriate or necessary, to exert a slight lifting movement, for example if the receiving support is higher than the original support.

Les figures 6a à 6c illustrent les différentes phases d'utilisation du dispositif selon l'invention pour réaliser une translation latérale sur un même support.The Figures 6a to 6c illustrate the different phases of use of the device according to the invention to perform a lateral translation on the same support.

Pour modifier la position latérale d'un patient allongé, on met en place, le dispositif (1) jusqu'à ce que le flanc du patient repose contre la butée (4), comme précédemment (figure 6a).To modify the lateral position of an elongated patient, the device (1) is put in place until the patient's flank rests against the abutment (4), as before ( figure 6a ).

Puis on exerce une légère traction vers le haut au moyen de la poignée (6) de la butée (4), pour relever légèrement l'embase (2) et effectuer le basculement latéral du patient (figure 6b). Puis on replace l'embase (2) dans sa position horizontale d'origine avant de retirer le dispositif (figure 6c).Then a slight traction is applied upwards by means of the handle (6) of the abutment (4), to raise slightly the base (2) and to effect the lateral tilting of the patient ( figure 6b ). Then we replace the base (2) in its original horizontal position before removing the device ( Figure 6c ).

L'invention permet le cas échéant à un opérateur d'intervenir seul.The invention makes it possible, if necessary, for an operator to intervene alone.

En effet, dès la personne (7) à déplacer amenée dans la position de transfert, il suffit à l'opérateur de se déplacer de l'autre côté du lit ou du plan dans lequel se trouve la personne allongée, pour alors exercer une traction sur l'extrémité de l'embase (2) et amener la personne à déplacer vers le nouveau plan de réception, comme par exemple un lit, un brancard ou un fauteuil, ou pour effectuer la latéralisation sans changement de support.Indeed, from the person (7) to be moved into the transfer position, it is sufficient for the operator to move on the other side of the bed or the plane in which the person lying is, then to exert traction on the end of the base (2) and cause the person to move to the new receiving plane, such as a bed, a stretcher or an armchair, or to perform the lateralization without changing media.

Le retrait des éléments de translation une fois le déplacement effectué est tout aussi simple : tout comme précédemment, une simple traction ou poussée aura pour conséquence de provoquer le coulissement dans le sens de l'embase (2), le patient reposant comme dit précédemment sur le support (3). Le retrait sera alors grandement facilité puisqu'il ne subsistera qu'une petite partie de l'embase (2), constituée par la zone située entre l'extrémité du support (3) et l'extrémité de l'embase (2), à retirer pour finaliser l'opération de déplacement.The removal of the translation elements once the movement is made is just as simple: just as previously, a simple pull or push will cause sliding in the direction of the base (2), the patient resting as previously said on the support (3). The withdrawal will then be greatly facilitated since only a small part of the base (2), consisting of the area between the end of the support (3) and the end of the base (2), will remain, to withdraw to finalize the move operation.

On peut de la même manière utiliser plusieurs éléments de translation (1), en fonction de la taille du patient ou de la dimension des plans de départ ou d'arrivée.In the same way, it is possible to use several translation elements (1), depending on the size of the patient or the size of the initial or arrival planes.

Selon une forme de réalisation avantageuse, le support (3) est amovible et peut être désolidarisée de l'embase (2) au choix de l'utilisateur. Cette modalité permet de faciliter les opérations d'entretien du dispositif. Elle permet aussi à l'utilisateur d'utiliser le dispositif sous une forme simplifiée, lorsque la fonction de coulissement n'est pas indispensable ou disponible.According to an advantageous embodiment, the support (3) is removable and can be detached from the base (2) at the discretion of the user. This modality makes it easier to maintain the device. It also allows the user to use the device in a simplified form, when the sliding function is not essential or available.

La description qui précède permet d'apprécier les avantages du dispositif selon l'invention. Comme ils sont réalisés de préférence dans un matériau lisse, les éléments de translation (1) glissent rapidement sur ou sous tous types de surfaces et peuvent ainsi être mis en place sous une personne en évitant les zones douloureuses.The above description makes it possible to appreciate the advantages of the device according to the invention. As they are preferably made of a smooth material, the translation elements (1) slide quickly on or under all types of surfaces and can thus be placed under a person avoiding painful areas.

Le dispositif permet de déplacer des personnes très lourdes sans fournir d'efforts intenses. La traction exercée sur le dispositif déplacera la personne par glissement sans que celle-ci ne subisse de secousses, de frottements ou de manipulations douloureuses. De même, le dispositif est retiré sans manipulation du patient sur le plan de réception.The device makes it possible to move very heavy people without exerting intense efforts. The traction exerted on the device will move the person by sliding without it undergoes shaking, friction or painful manipulations. Likewise, the device is removed without manipulation of the patient on the reception plane.

Le dispositif est peu encombrant, léger et donc facilement transportable. Etant composé de plusieurs éléments identiques, donc encastrables, il se range sans difficulté et prend peu de place. Le dispositif peut être lavé et désinfecté rapidement et sans difficulté. Il n'exige pas d'agencement particulier, tant dans les locaux d'utilisation que sur les plans de réception, par exemple les lits, brancards ou fauteuils. Il est utilisable immédiatement sans préparation ni montage préalable.The device is compact, lightweight and therefore easily transportable. Being composed of several identical elements, thus embeddable, it ranks without difficulty and takes up little space. The device can be washed and disinfected quickly and easily. It does not require any particular layout, both in the premises of use and on reception plans, for example beds, stretchers or armchairs. It can be used immediately without prior preparation or assembly.
