Satin SIBA Four-Way Top Draw Sheet Sliding Aid with Handles (140cm x 200cm)
Most suitable for patients who are predominantly mobile but require carer assistance during certain in-bed manoeuvres, the Satin SIBA Four-Way Top Draw Sheet Sliding Aid with Handles (140cm x 200cm) can be used by hand or with the help of a hoist to shift patients in bed. It slides easily over any SIBA satin base sheet so patients can be safely and comfortably shifted up and down or from side to side along the bed.
Please note the Top Draw Sheet must be used with a SIBA Satin Base Sheet.
What's Included In My Purchase?
How Can Carers Use the Top Draw Sheet?
Single carers can use the draw sheet to shift patients by hand, however the sheet is also supplied with handles on its sides that can be attached to a hoist for more regular positioning. When placed in top of a satin base sheet, the top sheet slides with decreased resistance 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 can help reduce the risk of injury to both patients and carers. The top draw sheet slides easily over the satin surface of the base sheet so the patient can be safely and comfortably shifted or turned, while the additional leverage takes the strain of heavy lifting off of the carer, protecting them against back pain.
