How Does the Top Draw Sheet Aid Positioning?

The Top Draw Sheet allows carers to move patients who have limited mobility when they're lying in bed. It has a soft satin underside, so when placed on top of a SIBA Satin Base Sheet, patients can be easily slid from side to side, shifted lengthways or widthways, and helped into a sitting position.

Does This Draw Sheet Enable Movement In All Directions?

Yes, when placed on top of a SIBA satin base sheet, this draw sheet allows patients to be moved in all four directions as indicated by its white checked markings. They can therefore be turned from side to side, pulled downwards or upwards, and repositioned widthways on the bed. Due to its extended width and length, it offers good leverage so even taller patients can be turned without difficulty.

Where Can the SIBA Draw Sheet Be Used?

This sheet can be used by a single carer or multiple carers to help patients who are unable to move in bed without assistance, and is suitable for managing taller patients due to its extended length. Settings and applications it is ideal for include:

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

How Does the Four-Way Bed Sheet Prevent Injury?

The Four-Way Bed Sheet ensures patients can be repositioned safely in bed. The satin on the underside of the sheet slides easily over the satin base sheet so patients can be moved, however the polycotton topside creates friction to stop the patient from slipping out of bed.
