Locomotor Ultra Tubular Slide Sheets: Low-Friction, Multi-Directional Aids for Safe Patient Handling

The Locomotor Ultra Slide Sheet range represents the ultimate solution for safe, no-lift patient handling and repositioning. These tubular, low-friction fabric sheets are designed to facilitate essential transfers while completely eliminating the risk of skin shearing and reducing strain on caregivers. The fabric's inherent multi-directional glide capability allows patients to be moved effortlessly in any direction, making them indispensable for a wide range of care settings.

Three Essential No-Lift Handling Tasks

The Ultra Slide Sheets enable caregivers to perform three basic yet crucial patient handling tasks with maximum safety and efficiency:

1. Turning a Patient: Ideal for turning patients for pressure care, hygiene, or accessing dressings without causing friction burns or twisting injuries.

2. Boosting/Sitting Up in Bed: Safely repositions a patient higher up the bed, eliminating the common issue of painful shearing to the buttocks and lower back.

3. Lateral Transfers: Moves a patient smoothly on or off a bed, trolley, or examination couch, ensuring minimal effort for staff and a comfortable experience for the patient.

By eliminating the need to physically lift the patient, these sheets help facilities comply with stringent manual handling regulations and drastically reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injury to care staff.

Tubular Design and Multidirectional Glide

The unique construction of the Ultra Slide Sheets enhances their utility and safety profile:

• Tubular Design: The sheet is a continuous loop of fabric with a low-friction inner surface. This design provides two sliding surfaces, allowing the patient to glide seamlessly when the tube is partially positioned underneath them.

• Multi-Directional Movement: Unlike some transfer aids, the advanced fabric enables movement in any direction—up, down, and laterally—giving caregivers maximum control and versatility during complex repositioning tasks.

• Washable and Durable: The sheets are made from washable fabric, ensuring longevity and maintaining high hygiene standards across numerous uses.

Comprehensive Sizing for Every Repositioning Task

To ensure the highest level of safety and effectiveness, the Ultra Slide Sheet range is available in a variety of sizes, with each size often color-coded for quick identification in a clinical environment:
