How Back care Advisors Benefit

Back Care Advisors and Patient Handling professionals love Hospital Direct for their wide range of Community products.

With Hospital Direct, you can ensure easy patient moving and handling with a wide range of slide sheets that use an ultra-slippery material. For example, washable glide sheets, can help carers easily manoeuvre people into a virtually endless range of positions so that the patient remains comfortable at all times.

Back Care and patient handling teams will use a range of glide sheets with handles in the community and even in peoples own homes, helping to transfer people safely from one surface to another and make patient repositioning even easier. Glide sheet use also reduces the need for carers and healthcare professionals to reach over beds, ensuing better back care and less risk of injury.

Transfer Slide sheets are luxuriously soft to offer maximum comfort and quietness. Our technically advanced fibres give each side a slippery finish; ideal for repositioning a patient in a bed or trolley. Glide sheets with handles can be used at home to transfer people safely from one surface to another and make patient moving and handling even easier and safer.

The range doesn’t finish there though. Another system of interest may be the Flexicare 4-Way In-Bed Management System which can also be used to reposition patients in all directions without directly handling them. This promotes dignity and easy patient turning while Hospital Direct’s bed positioning wedge can also be used to keep patients safe and secure, preventing falls out of bed.

To ensure good back care, Hospital Direct’s Bed Positioning Wedge provides maximum support for patients while they are sleeping. Once a carer has safely positioned a patient in their desired position, such as on their side, they can then relax with good back support in bed.

Hospital Direct recommends using the bed-side wedge in conjunction with the SIBA Satin Sliding System, which enables patient handling professionals carers to safely reposition a patient before using the foam positioning wedge to support the patient. The satin sheets’ anti-slip properties prevent the positioning wedge from slipping, guaranteeing user comfort and maximum back support.
