Swift In-Bed Repositioning System Slider Sheet (200 x 205cm)
Rotating and moving immobile patients helps to reduce shear forces and prevent pressure injuries, but this can be both painful for sensitive patients and physically demanding for carers. Made with super low-friction and soft materials, the Swift In-Bed Repositioning System Slider Sheet (200 x 205cm) makes moving and turning patients much smoother. This is gentler for bedbound patients who are often more sensitive, and requires much less effort from carers, who may need to make many of these patient movements per day.
When used together with the with UltraSlide Bottom Sheet (Standard/Bariatric) it's part of a comprehensive In-Bed Repositioning System.

As the continued movement and rotation of immobile patients is so important in preventing pressure injuries, carers may have to manually manipulate patients multiples times a day. This can put a serious physical strain on care-givers, especially if they're responsible for more than one patient. The ultra-low friction design of the the Swift In-Bed Repositioning Slide sheet makes patient movement much easier, reduce the physical force needed by up to a massive 60%, which can greatly lower carer fatigue and chance of injury.
