Who Can Use the SatinSheet Wide Two Direction Base Sheet?
Ideal for patients who spend a lot of time in bed, this base sheet is designed with low-friction fabric that aids side-to-side movement and prevents pressure sores. The striped, non-slip borders are designed to prevent falls and allow users to sit safely on the edge of the bed. This version is suitable for wider beds.
How Does the SatinSheet Improve Patient Independence?
Not only is the SatinSheet Two Direction Base Sheet with Elasticated Corners an excellent way of aiding a carer in their daily tasks, but it also enhances the independence of the patient. The satin area of the base sheet improves the ease with which patients are able to turn from side to side in bed. This means that independent or partially independent patients can remain comfortable in bed without having to depend on their carer for around-the-clock assistance.
How Does the Wide 2D Base Sheet Reduce Friction?
The Etac Two Direction Base Sheet is a traditional base sheet with a slide area that covers the full length of the bed for complete support and ease of turning. The patient simply lies directly on the sheet to reduce friction between their bedding and their nightwear. The sheet also helps prevent chafing and pain while reducing the risk of pressure sores and ulcers.
