Comprehensive Patient Positioning System for Independent and Assisted Use
As this Swift In-Bed Repositioning Set includes both the UltraSlide Bottom Sheet and the Swift Slider Device, it serves as a versatile patient movement system for both independent and carer assisted use. This allows adapted care to the patient's health, level of mobility or stage of recovery. Some patients might also find that they're capable of smaller turns on their own while larger movements require some help – the Swift System is perfectly suited to both.
Swift Slider Sheet is Great for Carer Assisted Handling
This Swift Low-Friction Slide sheet is intended for patients with severely limited mobility or no mobility at all. It makes movement, turning and rotation in all directions much easier, which are essential for preventing pressure injuries and the build-op of shear force. It can be used for both assisted and independent movement depending on the patients level of mobility.
Base Sheet Can Also Be Used for Independent Movement
Some patients who are able to move themselves to some degree could also benefit from the Swift Slide sheet. It has a unique strip design with low-friction taffeta in the centre and more standard bedding fabric on the side. This is great for independent movement as patients can use the centre to move themselves around and the sides for purchase and stability.

The versatile and easy-to-use design of the Swift Slider Sheet as well as the whole In-Bed Repositioning System make the suited to a wide range of care and medical environments. This includes but is not limited to:

Reduces Strain on Carers
As the continued movement and rotation of immobile patients is so important in preventing pressure injuries, carers may have to manually manipulate patients multiples times a day. This can put a serious physical strain on care-givers, especially if they're responsible for more than one patient. The ultra-low friction design of the the Swift In-Bed Repositioning Set makes patient movement much easier, reduce the physical force needed by up to a massive 60%, which can greatly lower carer fatigue and chance of injury.
