Who Can Benefit from the Flexicare Top Sliding Sheet?
The Flexicare Top Sheet can be placed on top of a Flexicare Single Bed Base Sheet to enable safe and efficient patient repositioning. It can be used to readjust or turn them, and has a wipeable PU coating, making it especially beneficial useful for patients who suffer from incontinence.
Enables Multi-Directional Movement
This top sheet allows movement in a range of directions so all patient adjustments can be made in a safe and dignified way. By manipulating the top sheet and sliding it over the base sheet, carers can move the patient sideways, up and down, swivel them, turn them or lift them into a sitting position.
Where Can the Base Sheet Be Used?
This top sheet can be used as part of the Flexicare In-Bed Management System either by a single carer, multiple carers and with a hoist to adjust patients who are unable to move in bed. Institutions and applications it would be especially useful for include:
- Hospitals
- Nursing/care homes
- Home care
- Children’s nursing
- Palliative care
How Does the Four-Way Top Sheet Prevent Injury?
The Four-Way Top Sheet makes patient repositioning easier and safer for everyone involved. When the top sheet is moved over the base sheet, it provides leverage so patients can be shifted or tuned in a single, smooth motion. As it comes with handles, it can also be attached to a mobile hoist for individuals who need to be turned more regularly.
Suitable for Use with Lifting Hoists
For significant repositioning of the patient, the handles of the Flexicare Top Sheet can be attached to a patient lifting hoist. By raising one side of the sheet, the hoist can then ease the patient gently onto their side so the carer does not have to lift the patient themselves.
The Flexicare Top Sheet comes fitted with handles for attaching to a hoist
