How VENDLET Works

The turn sheet is rolled around 2
motorised bars on each side of the bed.

By activating the hand control the
turn sheet rolls around one bar and
thereby repositions or turns
the patient to one side.

An easy one person job.

Vendlet makes repositioning of patients in bed an easy one person job, at the touch of a button.

Ease of Daily Care Routines

VENDLET makes repositioning of patients in bed an easy one person job at the touch of a button. There will be improved care giver productivity and no more manual handling.

Easy Attachment to Most Beds

VENDLET is easily attached to most hospital and nursing home beds and works as an integrated part of the bed.
VENDLET does not restrict the bed nor have a negative impact on the efficiency of alternating air mattresses.

A Comprehensive View of the Patient's Needs

The uniform and gentle procedure ensures patient comfort and a postive contact between care giver and patient. The care giver has a comprehensive view of the procedure making it possible to support the patient's needs during the procedure.

Improved Care Giver Productivity

VENDLET simplifies planning of the daily care routines because the patient in many situations can be handled by one person.

Note: When mounted on the bed frame, VENDLET does not affect the other functions of the bed

The easist way to attach the side rails
is to press the bent edges on to
the bars one at a time.

To remove the side rails take hold of
the side and pull upwards. 		Mounting of the Slide Sheet
The slide sheet reduces the friction against the mattress and thereby the electricity consumption when using the VENDLET.
  1. Stretch the elastic in the corner of the slide sheet round the mattress.
  2. Guide the velcro straps round the steel frame under the mattress.
Mounting of the Turning Sheet
  1. Place the turning sheet in the middle of the bed with the central red line face up.
  2. Fasten the turning sheet to the velcro straps on the bars at the same distance from the ends on both sides. The sheet must always roll OVER the bars. If the turning sheet rolls up from under the bars this will reduce the tractive force. Do not pull the sheet as it will fit ezactly on the bar.
  3. Turn to release the stop button and press the green start button to activate the timer (the timer is active for 1½ minutes).
  4. Tighten the turning sheet on the bars using left turn and left turn, so that it rises above the mattress.
  5. Loosen the sheet again. Make sure that the sheet lies smoothly with the red line in the centre of the bed.
Side Rails
The side rails are to hang securely between the mattress and the support on the inner side of the bar. Use 2 side rails on each bar.
  1. Press left turn and left turn to slacken the sheet on both bars enough to allow for the side rails to be pressed on to the bars.
  2. Adjust the height of the bed to ensure correct posture. When the side rails are pressed on to the bars, the spacer at the bottom of the side rail must be in line with the headboard or footboard. Always attach the side rail at the foot of the bed before the side rail at the head of the bed.
  3. Always hang the side rails on the supports for side rails beneath the bars when they are not in use.
Before Use of VENDLET V4
  1. The bars must be raised and the surface of the bed must be flat and horizontal before operating VENDLET. Adjust the height of the bed to ensure correct posture when removing the side rails.
  2. Remove the side rails and hang them on the supports for side rails beneath the bars.
  3. Turn to release the stop button to turn on the pawer supply.
  4. Press the green start button to activate the timer for 1½ minutes.
  5. VENDLET is ready for use. If the timer disconnects while VENDLET is in use, press the green start button to reactivate the timer.
After Use of VENDLET V4
  1. Raise the bars to top level.
  2. Slacken the turning sheet on both bars and adjust the height of the bed. Press the side rails on to the bars.
  3. Press the red stop button to cut off the power supply.
