Why slide sheets?

Presently we supply a range of different glide sheet types to various facilities. To the NHS, care homes, hospitals, and many more.  A glide sheet is used to reduce any friction and tension during the moving or repositioning of a patient to a surface. Thus, sliding sheets comfortably move those with mobility issues.

Above all, it is vital that the patient is comfortable and their dignity is preserved. Also, it is important to keep the users safe from injury.

Quality slide sheets

Our Elite patient specific range participated in a national independent evaluation, as part of the NP592/21 patient Lifting Equipment Framework. Furthermore, in this evaluation, we scored higher than our slide sheet competitors, as well as being rated 5/5 for both our quality and value. Certainly, we take enormous pride in ensuring the quality of these sheets.

 

Reusable sliding sheets

Significantly, the Elite reusable sliding sheets can be washed over 50 times, whilst maintaining its integrity. Proven in wash trials to maintain effective slip characteristics, unlike others. Another key point is that the specially designed silicone coating is durable yet soft to the touch.

The reusable sliding sheets are useful in hospital wards and residential care homes. As they are comfortable for the patient and quiet whilst in use. Undeniably an ideal choice for comfortable, stress free patient transfer and repositioning.

Patient specific sliding sheets

Specifically used in situations where the patient is in hospital for a long time. A glide sheet stays with them for the full length of their treatment. Secondly, the patient specific glide sheet is made from strong polyester and is not designed to be washable. In addition, the coating is applied to a single side of the glide sheet. This makes the fabric lightweight, flexible and water resistant. Markedly, the 100% silicone impregnated fabric ensures a smooth and easy transfer or movement of patients.

Meanwhile, there is no need for washing. The disposable patient specific sliding sheets can be useful to maintain infection control, or in particular environments.
