Satin SIBA Four-Way Top Draw Sheet Sliding Aid with Handles (140cm x 200cm)

Ideal for patients who require some assistance when turning or sitting up in bed, but are otherwise mobile, the Satin SIBA Four-Way Top Draw Sheet Sliding Aid with Handles (140cm x 200cm) can be attached to a hoist to smoothly reposition them. By eliminating the need for any strenuous lifting, the sheet can help protect carers from back pain and injury.

Please note the Top Draw Sheet must be used with a SIBA Satin Base Sheet.

How Can Carers Use the Top Draw Sheet?

The Top Draw Sheet can be shifted by hand, but also has handles on its sides that can be attached to a hoist for hands-free patient positioning. When placed in top of a satin base sheet, the top sheet will slide smoothly so carers can pull the patient towards one side of the bed, or turn them by lifting the sheet with a hoist.

Does This Draw Sheet Aid Movement In All Directions?

Yes, when placed on top of a SIBA satin base sheet, this draw sheet allows patients to be moved in all four directions as indicated by its white checked markings. They can therefore be turned from side to side, pulled downwards or upwards, and repositioned widthways on the bed. However, as this bed sheet only spans from shoulders to hips, it is not suitable for those who have very limited mobility in their lower bodies.

Where Can the SIBA Draw Sheet Be Used?

This sheet can be used by a single carer or multiple carers to help patients who are unable to move in bed without assistance. Institutions and applications it would be especially useful for include:

• Community hospitals
• Community nursing
• Hospices
• Home care
• Nursing homes/care homes

How Does the Four-Way Bed Sheet Prevent Injury?

The Four-Way Bed Sheet ensures patients can be repositioned safely in bed. The satin on the underside of the sheet slides easily over the satin base sheet so patients can be moved, however the polycotton topside creates friction to stop the patient from slipping out of bed.

Additionally, the handles of the sheet can be attached to a hoist for machine-operated lifting, so carers won't have to risk injury by lifting them patient by hand.
