FLEXICARE 4-WAY SLIDE SHEET / FLEXICARE 4-WAY GLIDE SHEET

Hospital Direct’s Flexicare 4-Way Slide Sheet helps caregivers perform easy, safe patient transfers for 24/7 in-bed care.

This Flexicare 4-way base glide sheet is soft and comfortable Cotton/Polyester combination, with slippery panels to keep patients comfortable while caregivers slide them into new positions. Carers can then use the integral locking panels to secure patients and avoid any risk of them falling out of bed. This innovative design makes the glide sheet ideal for patients who require 24-hour in-bed support.

You can pair the Flexicare slide sheet with one of three Flexicare Top Sheets:

• A wipeclean, PU-coated sheet for patients who are tackling incontinence
• A fire-retardant, breathable, cotton sheet
• A micro-fibre sheet designed for easy temperature control

You can also combine the Flexicare 4-Way Slide Sheet with a Positioning Wedge to make repositioning your patients even easier.

The Flexicare 4-way glide sheet is available in two sizes to fit both standard and double beds. If you need advice about the slide sheet solution, please get in touch with our Technical Team. We will be delighted to help.
