Locomotor Ultra Wide Slide Sheet

The Locomotor Ultra Wide Slide Sheet is ideal for turning a patient for x-ray, surgical procedures, recovery, pressure care, change of dressing or cleaning. It enables three basic patient handling tasks to be carried out without the need to lift and without the risk of shearing to the patients skin.

Efficient Design

The Locomotor Sheet is a fabric cylinder with a low friction inner surface allowing an individual to be repositioned without the need to lift, enabling it to be used for a variety of repositioning tasks. What's more, the multi-directional glide of the fabric allows patients to be moved in any direction on the bed.

How to Use the Locomotor Ultra Wide Slide Sheet

• Patient turning - Roll the patient onto the Locomotor Slide Sheet ensuring that the hip and shoulder are over the slide sheet. To turn the patient, take hold of the top layer of the slide sheet close to the patient’s hip and shoulder and pull gently outwards and upwards. The patient will turn onto his/her side. Alternatively, slide the patient across the bed first and then roll the patient back into the middle of the bed.
• To remove the sheet, take hold of the bottom layer of the sheet and gently slide out from beneath the patient.

How Do I Clean the Locomotor Slide Sheet?

The Locomotor slide sheets can be washed at 71°C or autoclaved. They may also be sterilised using sodium dichlorosocyanurate or sodium hypochlorite, and if so they should be wiped clean only and then rinsed with water.
