Satin SIBA Four-Way Top Draw Sheet Sliding Aid (200cm x 200cm)
The Satin SIBA Four-Way Top Draw Sheet Sliding Aid (200cm x 200cm) is a bed sheet that carers can use to adjust patients with limited mobility when they are lying in bed. Its slippery underside is made to slide over a SIBA satin base sheet, so patients can be shifted from side to side, up and down along the bed, turned or helped into a sitting position.
What's Included In My Purchase?
How Does the Top Draw Sheet Aid Positioning?
When lain over a SIBA Satin Base Sheet, the top draw sheet can be easily manipulated so patients can be readjusted in bed with the help of a carer. It has a soft satin underside that is designed to glide easily over the satin surface of the base sheet.
Does This Draw Sheet Enable Movement In All Directions?
Yes, when placed on top of a SIBA satin base sheet, this draw sheet allows patients to be moved in all four directions as indicated by its white checked markings. They can therefore be turned from side to side, pulled downwards or upwards, and repositioned widthways on the bed. It is long enough to reach from the head to the toe of most adult patients, so their head, neck and lower bodies can be properly supported during manoeuvres.
Where Can the SIBA Draw Sheet Be Used?
This sheet can be used by a single carer or multiple carers to help patients who are unable to move in bed without assistance. Settings and applications it is ideal for include:
- Community hospitals
- Community nursing
- Hospices
- Home care
- Nursing homes/care homes
How Does the Four-Way Bed Sheet Prevent Injury?
The Four-Way Bed Sheet ensures patients can be repositioned safely in bed. The satin on the underside of the sheet slides easily over the satin base sheet so patients can be moved, however the polycotton topside creates friction to stop the patient from slipping out of bed.
