Polyglide Slide Sheet Silicon 145x195cm

135x190cm Double Polyglide Slide Sheet Silicon, Blue.

The sheet is a rectangular piece of sheeting made out of very strong but thin polyester fabric. As both sides are silicon coated this provides a special slippery surface so the sheet slides easily in any direction on the bed. They should retain their slip for approximately 100 machine washes providing the washing guidelines have been adhered to. The special coating that makes its surfaces very slippery is designed to assist in moving a person in bed with minimum trauma.

The sheet can be folded in half and semi-positioned whilst the patient is lying on their side. It may be positioned under a draw sheet. The patient can then either be moved up the bed by carers on either side grasping the sheet and sliding the sheet and patient up the mattress, or the patient can be turned by pulling the loose end of the top part of the sheet.

Benefits: Reduces manual handling injuries to staff and carers in the Health Care Industry.

These Slide Sheets are included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods & described as a transfer aid or a person-turning sheet
