⚡ At a Glance
- • Transfer Ease: Tubular slick surface lowers friction for smoother lateral moves and repositioning
- • Best for: Care workers in hospitals and home care moving immobile, elderly or heavy patients
- • Not ideal for: Situations that require powered hoists or full mechanical lifting systems
Tubular design allows use without folding and slides under patients easily. Coated nylon surface is waterproof, washable and reduces manual effort for carers.
Quicker repositioning – Thanks to tubular slick surface
Tubular construction eliminates folding; a coated, low-friction nylon surface creates a glide between fabrics and reduces lateral resistance. High abrasion resistance keeps the surface durable under repeated use.
Faster transfers between bed, wheelchair and car save time and reduce the physical work of moving patients during routine care.
Skin protection and hygiene – With waterproof, breathable coated nylon
Lightweight nylon with a surface coating repels fluids while allowing breathability to limit moisture build-up. The material is designed for frequent washing and quick drying.
Keeps skin drier during transfers and simplifies cleaning, helping lower the risk of pressure sores and cross-contamination.
Lower physical strain for carers – With low friction that reduces effort
The coated slick surface markedly reduces friction between patient and bedding, meaning lateral moves require less force. Reduced resistance often allows one to two carers to complete safe repositioning.
Less back strain and fatigue for staff, improving safety and making regular repositioning more sustainable over time.
