Manual Handling Equipment for Care Homes

Care homes utilize a variety of manual handling products to facilitate safe and efficient patient mobility. One essential item is the slide sheet, designed in a tubular form to enable smooth repositioning without fabric bunching.

Opting for a tubular slide sheet is both cost-effective and time-efficient, as it eliminates the need for multiple sheets. Ideal for community manual handlers, these slide sheets are available in ten sizes to meet diverse patient care requirements. Their popularity stems from their convenience, efficiency, and versatile sizing. Our reusable slide sheets are durable and can be laundered at high temperatures suitable for thermal disinfection.

Key Features:

• Cost-Effective & Sustainable: Designed for repeated use, our slide sheets help lower long-term costs.
• Infection-Control Ready: Safe to wash at high temperatures; avoid bleach and fabric softeners to maintain silicone effectiveness.

Note: Slide sheets are intended for sliding, not lifting. After each use, machine wash at high (thermal disinfection) temperatures to ensure cleanliness. To preserve silicone performance, avoid using bleach and fabric softeners. Full training is recommended to maximize ergonomic benefits.

In addition to standard slide sheets, we offer patient-specific options, slide sheets with handles, transfer sheets for safe patient transfers, and various accessories to support comfortable handling.
