SIBA Standard Healthcare Elasticated Base Sheet and Full Four-Way Top Sheet Combination Pack
The SIBA Standard Healthcare Elasticated Base Sheet and Full Four-Way Top Sheet Combination Pack includes a base sheet and top sheet for moving patients in bed. The base sheet lies on top of the mattress and can be fastened down using its elasticated straps. The top sheet can be moved over the slippery surface of the base sheet so patients can be moved from side to side or up and down and turned on the bed.

Save Money on SIBA Sliding Aid Systems
Both top and bottom components of this sliding aid system are available separately if you need replacements, and the SIBA base sheet can be bought and used on its own by patients who are able to move on their own in bed, but need a little extra support from their bedding.
Do These Sliding Aids Enable Movement In All Directions?
The top draw sheet of this sliding aid enables movement in four different directions, as indicated by its checkmarks. This means it can move patients from side to side or up and down along the bed and can also be used to turn or swivel them. It should properly support the entire body of most adult patients (those 6.5ft or below).
Where Can the SIBA Bed Sheets Be Used?
This sheet can be used by a single carer or multiple carers to help patients who are unable to move in bed without assistance. 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?
The SIBA Sliding System is designed to help carers move patients in the safest and most comfortable manner for all involved. This system provides leverage so the carer does not have to strain their back lifting the patient themselves, and due to its extended length can support the head, neck and legs of the patient to prevent discomfort or injury.
Will the SIBA Base Sheet Fit My Patient's Bed?
The SIBA Base sheet is large enough to cover most standard healthcare beds, and is designed to lie on top of the mattress secured by its elasticated straps so it can be easily applied and removed whenever necessary. 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
