Who Can Benefit From the SIBA Two-Way Base Sheet?
The SIBA Two-Way Base Double Bed Sheet is an in-bed movement aid ideal for couples where only one partner needs extra support. It has a single offset sating panel that makes it easier for the user lying on top of it to shift positions when they're lying down. Simultaneously, the sheet's polycotton borders add friction to its surface so the individual doesn't slide out of bed.
Where Can the SIBA Bed Sheet Be Used?
This sheet is ideal for patients being looked after at home, or couples where only one individual struggles to move in bed without help. It is designed to fit on top of a double bed, but only provides in-bed mobility assistance to one of the bed's occupants. If a public care facility has double beds, it can also be used in these settings. Institutions and applications it would be especially useful for include:
- Community nursing
- Hospices
- Home care
- Nursing homes/care homes
How Does the SIBA Base Sheet Prevent Injury?
This sheet can be placed on the top of most standard double mattresses to improve one users mobility in bed. Its offset satin panel is soft and comfortable, and allows the user to shift from side to side more easily, while at the same time, its polycotton edges stop the user from sliding towards the bed's edge so they don't fall and injure themselves.
How Easy Is it to Use the SIBA Base Sheet?
It is very easy to apply and remove the SIBA Base Sheet as it simply needs to be lain on top of the mattress and fastened using its elasticated straps. Markers on the slide sheet also indicate which way up it should be placed on the mattress and where its centre should sit.
Suitable for Independent Use
Individuals who are mostly able to move by themselves but find shifting in bed uncomfortable can benefit from this base sheet. There is a satin panel on one side that allows them to shift position, while the polycotton material on the rest of the sheet creates friction so they can lift themselves out of bed without hurting themselves, helping them regain confidence and independence.
Aids Patient Transfers
The base sheet can be used to enable independent patient movement in bed, whoever it can also be combined with a top draw sheet so carers can assist those with more extensive mobility issues. The base sheet offers a slippery surface for the top draw sheet to slide over so patients can be shifted or turned without trouble.
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:
