Slida Persson is a privately owned small company established in Yeppoon, Queensland, by Peter and Chris Persson. The concept of the slide was the result
of a recognised need experienced by a carer who required a
medical device to assist with the lone handling and transfer of a disabled patient.
As a result, a cost effective patient handling and movement technology (the slide system)
was developed and trialled successfully for six years in the private home of the
designer. In honour of the designer the slide has been called Slida Persson.
The concept behind Slida Persson is very simple, yet highly innovative as no
other product in the market has been able to achieve the desired effect. Slida
Persson allows the medical professional/carer to relocate the immobile
person effectively and safely without causing injury to both the carer or patient.
Based on its efficient design, safe features and cost-effectiveness, the transfer system is an essential
medical tool that will lead to improvements in care giving, patient
safety and value for money. It will contribute towards assisting Australians to
meet the priority health care needs of its patients while achieving a more
safe and reliable level of health service.
Currently the unique transfer system:
 can address large areas of clinical need for public and private health
providers in hospitals, nursing homes, hospice, home care, radiology,
physical therapy services and prehospital medical services such as
Ambulance and Emergency, Fire and Rescue as well as private
applications
has achieved a strong patent position with robust intelligent property rights
and protection from IP Australia, and Patent USA
is a unique feasible technology with clear benefits to patients, caregivers,
health service providers and Australia. Slida Persson undertakes
advanced current ‘best practice’ meeting appropriate QA standards.
has passionate management with zeal for building robust patient handling
and movement technology with long term value and value adding aspects
from continuous innovation and iterative improvements. For example, Slida
Persson is currently investigating ways of adapting the current design to
meet a variety of emergency situations.
