• 1 x SIBA Base Sheet
• 1 x SIBA Satin Top Draw Sheet

Who Can Benefit from the SIBA Sliding Aid System?

The SIBA Sliding Aid System is designed to aid patients who are unable to move or reposition in bed without the help of a carer. The base sheet offers a slippery surface for the top sheet to move over, so patients can be shifted up and down or side to side along the bed. If a replacement is required, the top draw sheet can also be purchased on its own.

Do These Sliding Aids Enable Movement In All Directions?

The white checked markings on the top draw sheet show that it can be moved over the base sheet both side to side and up and down along the bed. However, as the top sheet only spans from shoulders to hips, it is not suitable for those who have very limited mobility in their lower bodies or necks.

Where Can the SIBA Bed Sheets Be Used?

This sheet can be used by a single carer or multiple carers to readjust patients in bed, and can also be attached to a hoist due to its added handles. Institutions and applications it would be especially useful for include:

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

How Does the Four-Way Bed Sheet Prevent Injury?

For safer patient repositioning, the satin on the underside of the top sheet slides easily over the satin base sheet so patients can be turned and shifted with minimal strain on the carer. At the same time, polycotton edges and the polycotton topside of the draw sheet add friction to stop the patient from sliding out of bed and getting hurt.

Will the SIBA Base Sheet Fit My Patient's Bed?

This SIBA Base sheet will only fit divan style beds, or those without headboards and footboards. To make it as easy as possible to fit to your mattress, it is marked with the correct way up and positioning, and also features a drawstring which can be tightened for increased security.
