Glide Sheet (80 x 110cm)

Transferring patients need to be done as safely and comfortably as possible, since improper transfers risk injuring the transferred patient and the carer transferring them. The Glide Sheet (80 x 110cm) keeps workers and their patients safe using a frictionless construction that is also autoclavable, washable and chemically sterilisable for total hygiene. In a large 80 x 110cm size, perfect for transferring between beds, chairs and more, this sheet allows carers to rotate patients into and from the prone position and turn them while they are lying down for the easiest patient transfer available.
