Slide Sheet / Glide Sheet

Hospital Direct’s Opthalmic Covers protect Glide and Lock slide sheets to improve infection control in eye-surgery settings.

Health professionals who position patients for eye surgery love the Opthalmic Glide and Lock, a full-length, head-to-toe operation sheet. The Glide and Lock system makes it easier to position patients for eye surgery, and we now offer a new level of innovation to this product – covers that protect the Glide and Lock during use.

These covers will protect your Glide and Lock to ensure full coverage of the slide sheet. Not only does complete coverage reduce laundering, but it also enables practitioners to increase patient throughput. The slide sheet covers are strong, robust and waterproof, designed to prevent fluids from penetrating through to the product itself. Once surgery and recovery are complete, you can simply dispose of them. If you’re looking to save money and improve infection control in your Ophthalmology department, our Ophthalmic Glide and Lock Covers can help.

Contrary to common misconception, you don’t need a new glide sheet for every patient in high-turnover departments, such as Opthamology. Instead, you can simply purchase boxes of disposable covers and Velcro a new one onto the slide sheet for each patient. We stock non-woven, disposable Opthalmic Glide and Lock Covers in packs of 50.
