SATIN™ SHEET SYSTEM / TURNING IN BED

Hospital Direct’s SIBA™ Satin Sheet System makes turning in bed easier for both assisted and unassisted patients.

Patients who need slippery sheets to move comfortably in bed love our SIBA™ Satin Sheet System, which they can use to reposition in bed without sliding down the mattress. The SIBA™ (Satin In-Bed Assistance) sheets use our uniquely developed technical textiles – a slippery panel and anti-slip cotton weave. This unique blend of materials enables comfortable movement in bed and prevents pressure sores, tissue damage and nerve damage.

Whether patients use the sheets independently or with assistance from a carer, the silky satin panel makes it easy to adjust position. Either way, they can simply tuck the 2-way fitted base sheets under a mattress to make turning in bed easier.

We supply the satin sheet system in eight sizes to fit most beds and static mattresses, ranging from single to double bed sizes. Bespoke options are also available if required. Alternatively, if you need a satin sheet system for dynamic air mattresses, we recommend our specially designed satin fitted sheet to manage air hose access.

If you need more advice on the SIBA™ Satin Sheet System, please get in touch with our Technical Team. We will be delighted to help. You can also download our guide to SIBA sheets here.
