- Place the Swift slider on the bed, with the low-friction blue panel facing the mattress.
- Position the patient centrally on the white surface of the slider.
- Lower the side rails and raise the bed to almost elbow height of the shortest caregiver.
- Each caregiver should hold the positioning aid with two hands: one at shoulder height and one at hip height.
- Gather the sheet as close as possible to the patient's body and reposition by laterally shifting body weight.
- Once successfully repositioned, smooth out the sliding sheet and tuck flaps securely under the mattress.
