SIBA Standard Healthcare Elasticated Base Sheet and Midi Four-Way Top Sheet with Handles Combination Pack
The SIBA Standard Healthcare Elasticated Base Sheet and Midi Four-Way Top Sheet with Handles Combination Pack includes a bottom and top sheet intended to make patient repositioning easier for carers. The base sheet is made to lie on top of the patient's mattress secured by its elasticated straps, and provides a slippery surface for the top sheet to move over. The top sheet has handles which can be attached to a ceiling or mobile hoist for patients who need to be turned regularly.

Save Money on SIBA Sliding Aid Systems
The SIBA sliding aid can make it safer and easier for carers to move patients with poor mobility when they're lying in bed. This combination pack can save you money on both parts of this system, however the SIBA base sheet can also be used on its own by patients who are able to move in bed on their own but find it slightly uncomfortable.
Do These Sliding Aids Enable Movement In All Directions?
The top draw sheet of the sliding system can slid in all four directions along the bed and can also be swivelled, so patients can always be placed in the ideal and most comfortable position by carers. Unfortunately, the top sheet in this pack is not suitable for patients with very poor upper or lower body mobility as it is too short to properly support their necks and legs. For such purposes, you will require a combination pack with a longer sheet, like the SIBA Standard Healthcare Fitted Base Sheet and Full Four-Way Top Sheet Combination Pa
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?
The in-bed SIBA sliding system is made to prevent injury to both the carer and patient. Due to its smooth satin underside, the top sheet glides easily over the surface of the mattress while supporting the patient as they are moved into different positions.
Will the SIBA Base Sheet Fit My Patient's Bed?
This SIBA Base sheet is made to sit standard single healthcare beds, including dynamic mattress that have air pumps. Markers on the slide sheet show where it should be positioned on the bed, while the drawstring allows you to secure it tightly to the mattress so it doesn't slip off during use.
