An effective way to reduce manual handling injuries associated with moving patients in bed is in the use of slide sheets.
The sheet is a rectangular piece of sheeting made out of very strong but thin polyester fabric. As both sides are silicon coated this provides it's special slippery surface so the sheet slides easily in any direction on the bed. They should retain their slip for approximately 100 machine washes providing the washing guidelines are adhered too. The special coating that makes it's surfaces very slippery is designed to assist moving a person in bed with minimum trauma.
