Slide sheets are the first thing most manual handling plans call for. They cut the effort needed to move a client up a bed, roll them for care, or bring them across to the edge before a transfer, and they take the drag off the skin while it happens.
Silvalea’s slide sheets come in a run of lengths and widths, so you can match the sheet to the person and the task: a shorter piece for turning and pressure care, a longer one where the whole body needs to move at once. Low friction fabric means two carers can complete a move with control and without snatching at the linen.
For clients at risk of skin damage, keeping the sheet under the person between moves is often part of the plan, and that choice is worth documenting alongside the pressure care regime.
