What size slide sheet do I need?

A slide sheet is a flat, smooth, and slippery sheet made of durable material, typically nylon or satin. It is used in healthcare settings to assist with moving and repositioning patients who have limited mobility or are unable to move on their own.

The slide sheet is placed under the patient, and its low-friction surface allows healthcare providers to easily slide the patient from one surface to another, such as from a bed to a stretcher or from a bed to a chair. This helps reduce friction and shear forces, making it safer and more comfortable for both the patient and the healthcare provider during transfers and repositioning maneuvers. Slide sheets are an essential tool for maintaining patient safety and preventing injuries, particularly for patients with mobility issues or those who require frequent movement in medical settings.
