How Does the SIBA Base Sheet Work?
The Satin SIBA fully fitted base sheet help patients move more easily in bed whilst also preventing slips and falls. Its central satin panel allows them to move comfortably from side to side, while the polycotton striped edges add friction to the rest of the surface so they don't slide towards the edge of the bed.
How Easy Is It to Use the SIBA Base Sheet?
The SIBA sheet is incredibly easy to fit to any standard single bed, so can be used at home as well as in a professional care environment. Markers on the slide sheet indicate which way up it should be placed on the mattress, and a central marker shows where it should be positioned on the bed. The sheet also has a drawstring which can tighten the sheet to the bed for a more secure fit, while two holes at the bottom of the sheet mean it can also be attached to dynamic mattresses.
Suitable for Independent Use
Individuals can use the bed sheet in their own homes if they are mostly mobile but need a little help adjusting themselves in bed. The central satin panel and polycotton edges are comfortable comfortable enough to sleep on all throughout the night so users can easily and safely shift their position whenever necessary.
Aids Patient Transfers
For patients who have more extensive issues with mobility and require the help of a carer when moving in bed, the Satin SIBA Base Sheet can be combined with a top draw sheet. The satin surface of the base sheet provides a slippery surface for the satin underside of the top sheet to slide over, so patients can be shifted or turned by the carer safely and comfortably.
What Top Draw Sheets Are Available?
There are two types of Satin SIBA Top Draw Sheets available for use with the SIBA Base Sheet. One allows side to side movement only, while the other can be used to shift patients side to side or up and down along the bed. You can learn more by clicking the links below:
