SUPINE TO PRONE / PRONE POSITION TO SUPINE

Hospital Direct’s Patient-Specific ProTurn® Sheets offer practitioners the ability to safely roll patients between supine and prone positions.

When caregivers need to turn patients from supine to prone positions and vice versa, they can simply insert one of these slide sheets beneath the patient and turn them in a controlled manner. This way, practitioners no longer need to use the outdated ‘flip and catch’ method. The slippery material makes prone positioning easier than ever, both for patients and caregivers.

Not only do these slide sheets reduce the need for caregivers to over-reach or over-lean during proning, but the slide sheets also feature integral, super-soft pockets. These pockets hold wipeclean pads, which protect patients’ arms and preventing entrapment during prone positioning.

Many of the UK’s theatre staff, surgeons and anaesthetists recommend the slide sheets, the main component in our patient proning solution – the ProTurn® system. The sheets have been specifically designed for proning in the theatre environment.

After use, you can simply dispose of these patient-specific slide sheets to improve infection control and step up patient throughput. Alternatively, we also supply washable ProTurn® Sheets, which you can send to laundry and use as frequently as required.

We manufacture the slide sheets, along with the rest of the ProTurn® range, in our Shropshire premises, where we manufacture to the highest standards.
