SIBA Standard Healthcare Fitted Base Sheet and Midi Four-Way Top Sheet Combination Pack

The SIBA Standard Healthcare Fitted Base Sheet and Midi Four-Way Top Sheet Combination Pack contains a fully fitted bed sheet and top sheet that can be used together to reposition patients in bed. The base sheet has a satin surface which the top sheet slides over, allowing carers to shift patients into different positions, turn them or sit them up.

Save Money on the SIBA Sliding Aid System

If you are caring for a patient who requires significant assistance to turn or reposition in bed, you can save money by purchasing the top and bottom component of the SIBA Sliding Aid System together in this combination pack. However, for patients who have a higher level of independence and don't need the full support of a carer to move in bed, the base sheet can also be purchased and used on its own.

Do These Sliding Aids Enable Movement In All Directions?

Yes, as implied by the white checked markings on the SIBA top sheet, this sliding system can be used to shift patients from side to side or up and down along the bed. They can therefore be turned from side to side, pulled downwards or upwards, and repositioned widthways on the bed. However, as this bed sheet only spans from shoulders to hips, it is not suitable for those who have very limited mobility in their lower bodies or necks.

Where Can the SIBA Bed Sheets Be Used?

These sheets can be used by single or multiple carers who need to reposition patients with limited mobility in bed. Institutions and applications it would be especially useful for include:

• Community hospitals
• Community nursing
• Hospices
• Home care
• Nursing homes/care homes

How Does the Four-Way Bed Sheet Prevent Injury?

For safer patient repositioning, the satin on the underside of the top sheet slides easily over the satin base sheet so patients can be turned and shifted with ease. At the same time, the added polycotton material stops patients from sliding towards the edge of the bed so they don't fall out and get hurt.

Additionally, the Bed Sheets help prevent carer injury by reducing the strain of heavy lifting during patient manoeuvres.

Will the SIBA Base Sheet Fit My Patient's Bed?

The SIBA Base sheet is designed to fit most standard healthcare beds without difficulty. Markers on the slide sheet indicate which way up it should be placed on the mattress and a central marker shows where it should be positioned on the bed. The drawstring can be tightened to the bed for a more secure fit, while the two holes at the bottom corners of the sheet mean it can be attached to dynamic mattresses as well.
