Who Can Benefit from the Flexicare Top Sliding Sheet?

When placed on top of the Flexicare Single Bed Base Sheet, the Flexicare Top Sliding Sheet enables safe and comfortable in-bed patient positioning. Ideal for individuals who struggle to move in bed by themselves, the sheet can be used by a carer to help the patient readjust themselves, turn on their side or sit up.

The Flexicare Base Sliding Sheet is made from 100% cotton
with a low friction inner lining

Enables Multi-Directional Movement

This top sheet allows movement in a range of directions so all patient adjustments can be made in a safe and dignified way. By manipulating the top sheet and sliding it over the base sheet, carers can move the patient sideways, up and down, swivel them, turn them or lift them into a sitting position.

Where Can the Base Sheet Be Used?

This top sheet can be used as part of the Flexicare In-Bed Management System either by a single carer, multiple carers and with a hoist to adjust patients who are unable to move in bed. Institutions and applications it would be especially useful for include:

• Hospitals
• Nursing/care homes
• Home care
• Children’s nursing
• Palliative care

How Does the Four-Way Top Sheet Protect Carers?

The Four-Way Top Sheet can help protect carers from injury during in-bed patient manoeuvres as it takes away the need for heavy lifting. The sheet can be used to pull or turn the patient more easily, and can also be hooked to a hoist for more substantial movements.

Suitable for Use with Lifting Hoists

For significant repositioning of the patient, the handles of the Flexicare Top Sheet can be attached to a patient lifting hoist. By raising one side of the sheet, the hoist can then ease the patient gently onto their side so the carer does not have to lift the patient themselves.

How Comfortable Is the Standard Flexicare Top Sheet?

For maximum convenience, the patient can lie on top of the top sheet indefinitely so repositioning can be carried out at a moment's notice. To ensure the sheet is therefore as comfortable and safe as possible, it has been made from breathable, fire-retardant cotton and has a padded, quilted surface.
