TopSheet Large Positioning Aid
The TopSheet Large Positioning Aid is used for incontinent, bedridden users who must be turned frequently. It is an excellent aid for when carers need to hold a heavier user in a lateral position, such as when assisting with personal hygiene or dressing wounds. The TopSheet is also suitable for dementia suffers in palliative care who need turning, as the process is calm and gentle and the load is spread over the entire body area.

Friction-Reducing Material
The product is made of a super-absorbent material which makes the surface feel dry to lay on, which is very practical for incontinent users. The friction-reducing material on the underside means that users can be turned easily, and prevent the development of pressure sores.
