Wipe Clean Extension Straps
Extension straps are a great solution for all carers who have to perform supine transfers on a regular basis, as they effectively reduce the risks of over-extension and stretching.

Benefits of Using Extension Straps for Moving Patients
When performing supine transfers, carers often put the patient's comfort and safety before their own, which can lead to injuries and other health problems for those working in healthcare. Extension Straps can easily be clipped onto the handle of any Flat Slide Sheet with handles, which then reduces the risk of over-reaching and stretching when moving patients. Watch the video below to see a demonstration of their use.
Easy to Keep Hygienic
These Wipe Clean Extension Straps feature a new concept for straps, as they are made to be wiped down and washed in soapy water, rinsed and then left to dry. This greatly reduces the risk of cross-contamination and infection, while their reusability makes them a cost-efficient alternative to disposable straps.
