Making end of life palliative care as comfortable as possible
Palliative Care, or End of Life Care, is a difficult time for many who experience it, and so it is a vital task to maintain the dignity and comfort of the indivuals through a series of practical solutions.
The disposable slippy mattress cover is a simple product that reduces the constant need to insert Slide Sheets to re-position patients receiving palliative or end of life care in acute settings.
By un-tucking the bed sheet and inserting just one flat sheet, Hospital Direct’s mattress cover will enable the palliative patient to be moved and transferred easily without much disruption, ensuring palliative care dignity.
The mattress not only offers a simple solution for moving palliative and end of life patients while they are in bed but also reduces the risk of musculoskeletal injury for healthcare professionals.
Slide sheets and in-bed systems for quality and care
Ideal for use with Hospital Direct’s Flat Slide Sheets (Washable or Patient Specific with/without handles), this mattress cover provides the perfect solution for palliative and end of life patients who require 24-hour in-bed care and support.
Flat Slide Sheets, with or without handles, offer maximum comfort and quietness, and our technically advanced fibres give each side a slippery finish, allowing health professionals to effortlessly manoeuvre patients into a virtually endless list of positions so that they can remain comfortable at all times.
Flat slide sheet handles make patient repositioning even easier, allowing users a wide range of motion and health professionals can use the handles to assist patients as they sit forward in bed and safely transfer patients between surfaces during end of life palliative care.
Health professionals can also use the Flexicare 4-Way In-Bed System to manoeuvre and reposition patients in all directions without directly handling them, promoting palliative care dignity and ensuring easy patient turning. Healthcare professionals can then use the integral locking panels and positioning wedge to keep patients safe and secure, preventing the risk of palliative patients falling out of bed, but whilst still helping to prevent pressure ulcers developing.
End of life palliative care patients can remain on the Flexicare 4-way In-Bed System indefinitely, which enables them to be repositioned with minimum disturbance.
