Patient Transfer Patient Transfer slides

Features:Sliding sheets are designed for sliding transfers and repositioning.They are made of exceptionally low friction material, which when placed on top of one another become very slippery. Placed underneath a person they enable an independent or assisted sliding movement in one or more directions across a level surface.Simply fold the sheet in half and roll it under a patient, like fitting a draw sheet.When moving the patient, gather up the loose end of the top part of the sheet and use body weight and braced body to pull this to turn the patient (do not use excessive movements with your arms).Kylie sheets can be changed using the Bed Slide Sheet. When folded in half or using two sheets’ patients can be repositioned in beds or even in chairs.The Carers use their own body weight to move patients not just relying on the Carer's muscle power. Practice with work colleagues to become proficient before using with patients.This low-cost item is complementary to our Item 501 Bed Roller Sheet and Item 509H Slide & Turn Hoist Sheet that is left permanently underneath the patient, to make the turning or moving up the bed, easier for the Carer with less disturbance to the patient as they eliminate 'log rolling'.
