Satin SIBA Two-Way Top Draw Sheet Sliding Aid (140cm x 200cm)

The Satin SIBA Two-Way Top Draw Sheet Sliding Aid (140cm x 200cm) is a sliding aid that doubles as a comfortable bed sheet. The draw sheet is suitable for independent use when placed over a SIBA satin base sheet, but it can also be used by carers to shift patients from side to side or turn them in bed.

What's Included In My Purchase?

• 1 x Top Draw Sheet

Aids Independent Movement In Bed

This top sheet can aid patients that don't require another person to help them move in bed but still find it a little uncomfortable or challenging. The SIBA Top Draw Sheet can be combined with any SIBA satin base sheet to help them to move from side to side and to turn without sliding downwards on the bed. While users can lie directly on the satin base sheet, some might find it too soft for their comfort, or that it might cause them to overheat.

How Can Carers Use the Top Draw Sheet?

The Top Draw Sheet can also be used alongside a SIBA satin base sheet to assist patients who are unable to move in bed on their own. When lain on top of a satin base sheet, it allows the carer to slide the patient from side to side and turn them widthways on the bed. However, as it only supports the torso of the patient, it may be too small for those with very limited upper or lower body mobility, and a larger sheet may be required instead.

The Draw Sheet doubles as a regular bed sheet
for more convenient repositioning

Does This Draw Sheet Aid Movement In All Directions?

No, this draw sheet should only be used to move patients widthways or to turn from side to side in bed, and will actually make it harder for them to move upwards or downwards. If you require lengthways mobility, you would need to use a four-way draw sheet instead.

Where Can the SIBA Draw Sheet Be Used?

This sheet can be used in any setting where individuals struggle to move in bed unaided, and can enable both independent and carer-assisted movement. Institutions and applications it would be especially useful for include:

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

How Does the SIBA Base Sheet Prevent Injury?

The Two-Way Bed Sheet can aid patient repositioning while reducing strain and injury risk for the carer as well as the patient. The satin on the underside of the sheet slides easily over the satin base sheet so patients can be moved, yet the polycotton topside provides resistance so they can lie on it safely without sliding out of bed.
