Flexicare Single Bed Base Sheet and Top Sliding Sheet with Temperature Control Combination Pack
The Flexicare Single Bed Base Sheet and Top Sliding Sheet with Temperature Control Combination Pack contains all necessary components for patient in-bed repositioning. The top sheet is made to slide over the slippery surface of the base sheet so carers can shift patients, turn them or help them sit up. The sheets can be slept on all night and can also keep patients warm due to the insulating micro-fibre of the top sheet.
What's Included In My Purchase?
Save Money on the Flexicare Sliding Aid System
The Flexicare base sheet and top sheet can be purchased separately if you need to replace individual components, however you can save money on the full Flexicare bed system with this combination pack. The base sheet provides a slippery surface for the top sheet to slide over, so patients can be turned, shifted or helping into an upright position by carers.
The Flexicare top sheet slides easily over the base sheet supplied
Enables Multi-Directional Movement
This in-bed system allows patients to be shifted in four directions along the bed, as well as turned or swivelled. This versatility means carers can adjust patients into the most comfortable and beneficial position possible every time.
Where Can the Flexicare Patient Moving System Be Used?
This combination pack can make it easier for carers to reposition patients in bed, and can be especially useful if patients need help staying warm during the night. It is therefore ideal for use in the following institutions and applications:
- Hospitals
- Nursing/care homes
- Home care
- Children’s nursing
- Palliative care
How Does the Flexicare Sliding Aid Pack Protect Carers?
The Four-Way Top Sheet can help protect carers from injury during in-bed patient manoeuvres as it eliminates the need for direct lifting. The sheet can be used to pull or turn the patient more easily and can also be attached to a hoist if extra leverage is required.
Suitable for Use with Lifting Hoists
If a patient must be regularly turned or moved significantly, the handles of the Flexicare top sheet can be attached to a patient lifting hoist to further reduce strain on the carer. By raising one side of the sheet, the hoist can then roll patients slowly onto their side.

How Comfortable Are the Flexicare Sheets?
The base and top sheet of the Flexicare in-bed system double as regular bedding and are comfortable enough to lie on for as long as needed. The top sheet specifically is made from micro-fibre material that can trap heat, which is ideal for cold weather or patients who tend to get chilly.
