Discover how our products can support your evacuation process.<\/p>\n

The FloJac air lifting device<\/span><\/h2>\n

The FloJac air lifting device<\/a> is a high quality, durable and reliable flat lift kit that was designed for both the acute and community market. The device enables a fallen patient to be raised off the floor safely. It comes complete with a support wedge, which enables patients to maintain a semi-recumbent position if required. Other key features include ladder handles at the head and feet, wipeable straps, no removable parts, latex free, easy inflation and deflation, and a safe work load of 500kg. The FloJac provides ease of use and exceptional safety levels, making it a must-have device for the evacuation process.<\/p>\n

Slide sheets<\/span><\/h2>\n

GBUK Banana is known for its slide sheet solutions, with products including single patient use, washable, two-toned and eco-friendly sheets. In 2020, GBUK Banaa received the prestigious Queen\u2019s Award for Enterprise in the Innovation category for the Versal Slide Sheet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Slide sheets enable easy patient repositioning on flat surfaces, offering smooth and controlled movements, and eliminating the need for lifting. This keeps both patients and caregivers safe. As such, slide sheets will play a crucial role in evacuation plans.<\/p>\n

Lateral transfer boards<\/span><\/h2>\n

Our lateral transfer boards<\/a> are designed to bridge the gaps between surfaces, allowing smooth lateral transfers to be completed. Patients can be transferred in semi-recumbent positions, which ensures comfort and safety during transfer.<\/p>\n

Our lateral transfer boards are reusable, easy to wipe clean and latex free. Anti-slip pads offer excellent grip, while the high strength material ensures durability. Two widths and lengths are available, making them suitable for a wider range of patients. The design is inherently lightweight and features handles, which offers easy manoeuvrability. Furthermore, the boards can be easily stored. All of these features are vital when it comes to a smooth and successful evacuation process.<\/p>\n
