SIBA Standard Healthcare Fitted Base Sheet and Full Four-Way Top Sheet Combination Pack
The SIBA Standard Healthcare Fitted Base Sheet and Full Four-Way Top Sheet Combination Pack contains both the top and bottom part of the SIBA sliding aid system. The base sheet fits to the bed like a conventional bed sheet, and provides a slippery surface for the top draw sheet to move over so patients can be repositioned by their carer. Its extended length means it is able to support the head and legs of most adult patients during manoeuvres

Save Money on SIBA Sliding Aid Systems
The SIBA sliding aid is intended to enable safe and effective in-bed positioning of patients by carers. This combination pack can save you money on both the bottom and top components of the system, however the SIBA base sheet is available on its own, and can be used by individuals who are mostly independent, but find turning in bed a little difficult.
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?
Designed to protect both carers and patients from injury, the top draw sheet can be slid over the bottom base sheet so carers can readjust individuals with limited mobility when they are lying in bed. It has a 200cm length (6.5ft), which means is should offer good support of the head and legs of the patient during repositioning so their necks don't get injured.
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 varieties. 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.
