Who Can Benefit from the Flexicare Top Sliding Sheet?

The Flexicare Top Sliding Sheet can be moved over the Flexicare Base Sheet to adjust the position patients lie in when they're in bed. Made from warming micro-fibre material, it is comfortable enough for the patient to lie on indefinitely, and will likely be most appreciated by those who get cold easily.

The Flexicare Base Sliding Sheet is made from 100% cotton with low friction inner lining

Enables Multi-Directional Movement

This top sheet allows movement in a range of directions so all patient adjustments can be made in a safe and dignified way. By manipulating the top sheet and sliding it over the base sheet, carers can move the patient sideways, up and down, swivel them, turn them or lift them into a sitting position.

Where Can the Base Sheet Be Used?

This top sheet can be used as part of the Flexicare In-Bed Management System either by a single carer, multiple carers and with a hoist to adjust patients who are unable to move in bed. Institutions and applications it would be especially useful for include:

• Hospitals
• Nursing/care homes
• Home care
• Children’s nursing
• Palliative care

How Does the Four-Way Top Sheet Prevent Injury?

The Four-Way Top Sheet can help protect carers from injury during in-bed patient manoeuvres as it takes away the need for heavy lifting. The sheet can be used to pull or turn the patient in a safe, fluid motion, and can be hooked to a hoist for more substantial movements.

Suitable for Use with Lifting Hoists

For significant repositioning of the patient, the handles of the Flexicare Top Sheet can be attached to a patient lifting hoist. By raising one side of the sheet, the hoist can then ease the patient gently onto their side so the carer does not have to lift the patient themselves.

The Flexicare Top Sheet comes fitted with handles for attaching to a hoist

Why Should I Choose the Temperature Control Flexicare Top Sheet?

This sliding aid is fantastic for managing patients with limited in-bed mobility who often get to cold. Made from temperature regulating microfibre material, the top sheet can be slept on continuously to keep the patient warm and to ensure they can be repositioned whenever necessary.
