Improve safety and ease of patient repositioning with this premium-grade slide sheet designed for caregivers and healthcare environments. The slide sheet is constructed from a strong but thin polyester fabric, with silicone-coated surfaces on both sides — offering an ultra-smooth, low-friction glide that enables effortless movement in any direction on the bed.
Features & Benefits
-
Low-friction silicone coating: Both sides are coated to ensure smooth sliding and reduce resistance — ideal for repositioning, turning, or boosting a patient in bed with minimal effort.
-
Durable and reusable: Made to withstand repeated laundering — the slip surface is engineered to last for approximately 100 machine washes when washed according to care instructions.
-
Compact, versatile size: At 90 × 135 cm, this slide sheet is ideal for standard beds and home-care settings where space and handling ease matter.
-
Enhanced caregiver safety: Using a slide sheet significantly reduces manual handling strain and lowers the risk of back, shoulder and neck injuries for carers.
-
Patient comfort & protection: The silky glide reduces shear and friction forces on skin — helping prevent discomfort, skin trauma or pressure injuries during transfers or repositioning.
-
Easy to use: The sheet can be placed under a draw sheet or folded under the patient while lying on their side; carers can then slide or turn the patient using smooth, controlled movements.
Suitable For: Home care, aged-care facilities, hospitals, rehabilitation centres, and disability/NDIS care settings — anywhere safe, efficient patient handling and repositioning is required.
Use & Safety Notice:
Slide sheets should always be used in line with occupational health & safety or manual-handling guidelines. Never leave a patient unattended on a slide sheet, and ensure at least two qualified carers are present when repositioning or transferring a patient.
