Ideal for Patients and Carers
Patients with low or limited mobility often require additional help with turning or moving around in bed to prevent the build up of pressure. The Swift UltraSlide Base and Slider Sheet Pack is crafted with low friction material to ensure the patient remains safe even when they are moving around or being moved in bed.
The Full Length 4Way Slider Sheet is also an excellent way of preventing an injury to the neck, shoulders or back for the carers. This is because it reduces the force required to turn or position patients or residents. The full-length design of the sheet also offers you more control over any movements made, ensuring the patient remains as safe as possible.
