Satin SIBA Two-Way Base Sheet with Elasticated Straps (90cm x 200cm)

The Satin SIBA Two-Way Base Sheet with Elasticated Straps (90cm x 200cm) can help patients with limited mobility regain independence by making it easier for them to turn or get in and out of bed without assistance. Its central satin panel is soft and smooth so patients can shift from side to side with minimal friction, while the textured cotton border stops them from sliding too far towards the edge of the bed so they don't fall out.

Who Can Benefit from the SIBA Two-Way Base Sheet?

The SIBA Base Sheet is a versatile aid that can be used by both carers and individuals with mobility issues to make moving in bed safer and easier. It consists of a central satin panel and an outer cotton border that allows the user to reposition themselves without sliding towards the edge of the bed.

Where Can the SIBA Base Sheet Be Used?

This sheet is ideal for use in settings where patients may have limited mobility but need to spend long periods in bed, such as in care facilities. It can be used to increase a patient's independence, or to help single careers make safer patient transfers (when combined with a top draw sheet). Institutions and applications it would be especially useful for include:

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

How Does the SIBA Base Sheet Prevent Injury?

This sheet can be placed on the top of most standard healthcare or single mattresses to improve patient mobility and safety in bed. It has a central panel which allows users to shift from side to side more easily, as well as polycotton edges which add friction so the user won't slide towards the edge of the bed and hurt themselves.

How Easy Is it to Use the SIBA Base Sheet?

The SIBA sheet was designed to be very easy to fasten to beds so that it can be used by healthcare workers and at-home patients whose mobility is not too limited. Markers on the slide sheet indicate which way up it should be placed on the mattress, and where on the bed it should be positioned. The elasticated straps on the corners of the sheet can then be strapped over the mattress to keep it in place throughout the night.

Regain Independence

If you have mobility issues and struggle to shift position in bed or get in and out of bed without assistance, the SIBA Two-Ways Base Sheet can help you regain your independence and confidence. Its central satin panel is smooth so you can easily slide from lying on one side to the other. Meanwhile, the striped polycotton material that surrounds it creates friction so you won't accidentally slide out of bed.

Reduce Your Risk of Bed Sores

By allowing your to shift readjust yourself as much as you want, the bed sheet can also help reduce your risk of bed sores, which can develop if you lie in the position for too long. Likewise, this can also combat more severe complications like nerve or tissue damage.

Aids Patient Transfers

The base sheet can be used to support the independent movement of patients in and out of bed, but it can also be used by single carers to create a transfer assistance system. If you're interested in using such a system, you'll also need a top draw sheet.
