Glide and Lock Sheets for Beds
Glide and lock sheets provide a low friction movement in one direction - into the chair or wheelchair or up the bed - but resist the natural tendency of the patient to slide down again. In normal use, the product allows repeated positioning whilst considerably reducing the frequency of the moves. This not only improves patient care but also decreases the handling risks faced by staff dealing with these types of manoeuvre on a regular basis. Glide and lock sheets are and invaluable resource in any department or homecare environment. Available as standard or cushioned. The cushioning has no pressure relieving qualities (see pressure reducing Glide and Lock sheets) but adds a greater degree of comfort, especially if the client is frail, has delicate skin or bony prominences.
- Internal locking strips to improve client safety
- Anti-slip material on the base to prevent unwanted movement of the sheet
- Variety of sizes and finishes to match the product with the clients needs
- Washable at 72°C, low tumble dry, do not iron, do not use chlorine bleach
Glide and lock sheets for beds are ideal when a client has a tendency to repeatedly slide down a bed. They are of vital help particularly when it is important to maintain the clients position because of breathing or other difficulties.
