Ideal for Patients and Carers
Bariatric patients with limited mobility often require additional help with turning or moving in bed, especially if they are at an increased risk of suffering from pressure sores or ulcers. The Swift UltraSlide Base and Slider Sheet Pack is crafted with low friction material to prevent discomfort during handling tasks.
As caregivers are at a higher risk of suffering from an injury when they turn or move patients, it is important that the correct steps are taken to prevent this. The Full Length 4Way Slider Sheet reduces the force required to turn or position patients. Its full-length design also offers you more control over any alterations made, ensuring the patient remains as safe as possible.
