2-MOVE
The Grimstead Range of Transfer & Repositioning Aids
T
he 2-Move is a lightweight transfer system designed to facilitate a supine lateral
transfer. It is comprised of 2 parts: the inner core is a light, rigid, full-size board
covered with a low friction material; and the tubular outer sheet which has a low
friction inner surface.This allows the outer sheet to revolve around the inner core while
transferring the client, making the transfer virtually effortless.
The unique design of this system allows the board to be removed leaving the sheet
underneath the client, which can be used to reposition them if needed.
The 2-Move comes with a convenient carry handle and can be folded for easy storage.
It is available in 2 widths with a shorter version for paediatric use.
Available in 4 sizes:
40cm x 85cm/15 3/4” x 33 1/2”
50cm x 85cm/19 3/4” x 33 1/2”
40cm x 170cm/15 3/4” x 67”
50cm x 170cm/19 3/4” x 67”
Repositioning Problems and 2-Move Solutions
When carrying out a lateral transfer with a traditional transfer boar
d, a client’s skin does not easily slide across the board. Using the
2-Mo ve, the low fr iction nylon cover allows the client to slide across the board with no damage to tissue.
Many boards need to be lifted from one surface to another with the client on them causing strain to shoulder or back of the caregiver.
With the 2-Move the caregivers gently push/ pull a sheet to slide them across without strain.
Using a slide sheet alone will not bridge the gap betw
een two surfaces.The 2-Move effectively bridges all gaps.
The low static potential makes the 2-Move an ideal piece of equipment for the lateral transfers done in the operating theatres.
General Guidelines
1. Using appropriate technique, gently roll the client 2. The client can be rolled onto their back. They are
on their side.Then, the 2-Move and a draw/ transfer

3. Bring the stretcher to the bed’s side. Lock the brakes. 4. Caregiver on one side places her open palms (do not
grip) on the client’s hip and shoulder. The receiving
caregiver is on the opposite side of the stretcher.
5. Using the draw/
transfer sheet the
receiving caregiver
pulls gently while the
other pushes at the
hip and shoulder to
begin the move. The
board and the client
travel together to the
new surface.
6. When the transfer is
the 2-Move
is removed.
Important
Make sure that the glide sheet is used with the label on the outside. If the sheet is inside out it will not slide.
The 2-Move should never be left on the
as it presents a slip hazard.
The 2-Move is not a lifting device and should not be used as such.
The 2-Mo ve does not contain latex.
