ONE-WAY SLIDE SHEET / ONE-WAY GLIDE SHEET

Hospital Direct’s cushioned, wipeclean Glide and Lock – a one-way slide sheet with handles – allows patients to adjust themselves into comfy sitting positions in standard sized beds.

Patients who struggle remain in a seated position when their bed is profiled will love this Glide and Lock, which enables healthcare professionals to glide the patient up into a sitting position even when the best is profiled. It also secures the user so they don’t slide back down. While some Glide and Lock models offer cushioning for maximum comfort – perfect for long-term use – or a wipeclean finish to enable easy cleaning, this model combines both.

Caregivers can help patients slide into a comfortable position by gripping the soft webbing handles on both sides of the one-way glide sheet and guiding them backwards. This helps prevent carer injury as they support patients/clients safely.

The cushioned, wipeclean one-way slide sheet is one of many models in our Glide and Lock range, which also includes models with an all-over anti-slip coating.

If you need more advice on which slide sheet solution to opt for, please get in touch with our Technical Team. We will be delighted to help.
