Satin SIBA Sheet Pillowcase

When turning or shifting patients with limited mobility in bed, carers may struggle to properly support the head or neck to prevent discomfort and injury. The Satin SIBA Sheet Pillowcase can make this process easier as it has a slippery satin bottom that can be moved along with the patient during manoeuvres, and can then be secured using its polycotton flaps.

Please note the SIBA Pillowcase must be used with a SIBA Satin Base Sheet.

How Can Carers Use the SIBA Pillowcase?

Single carers can use the SIBA Pillowcase to improve the comfort and safety of patients while they are repositioned in bed as it has a satin underside that allows for multi-directional movement so the patient's head can be turned along with their body. Its flaps wrap around the pillow to secure it once a transfer is finished, but they can also be used as handles during manoeuvres to shift the pillow and head of the patient.

Does This Pillowcase Allow Movement In All Directions?

This pillowcase allows for movement in all four directions, or up and down and side to side along the bed. This versatility can help prevent injury or nerve damage to the patient by protecting their head and neck from improper handling.

Where Can the SIBA Pillowcase Be Used?

This pillowcase can greatly increase safety and comfort during in-bed adjustments when a patient is being handled by a single career. Settings and applications it is ideal for include:

• Community hospitals
• Community nursing
• Hospices
• Home care
• Nursing homes/care homes

How Does the SIBA Pillowcase Prevent Injury?

The SIBA Pillowcase has a slippery satin underside that allows it to slide along the bed during manoeuvres so patients' heads can be properly supported. The pillowcase also has flaps with cotton topsides that can be wrapped around the pillow once the patient has been repositioned to stop it from sliding further.

How Comfortable Is the SIBA Satin Pillowcase?

The SIBA Satin Pillowcase has a checked polycotton topside that will keep the user cool and comfortable while they sleep and can be lain on indefinitely just like a regular pillowcase. This design maximises convenience as it means the patient can be immediately repositioned whenever necessary.
