Glide Sheet (70 x 72cm)

The best way to transfer patients from their bed or chair to anywhere else is with a transfer sheet, however, these need to be soft for patient comfort and safety. The Glide Sheet (70 x 72cm) removes the need to lift patients and can also be used for turning patients while lying or sitting down and rotating patients into and from the prone position. Using a super-soft material to reduce the likelihood of friction burns and rubbing, this sheet keeps patient wellbeing as a top priority while being totally convenient for carers with an autoclavable design that can also be chemically sterilised.
