Permanent Fit Evacuation Sheet: Converting Anti-Pressure Mattresses for Emergency Transport

For enhanced patient safety, especially for those in bedrooms above ground level, our Evacuation Sheet is an essential piece of emergency equipment. Designed to be fixed permanently in place under a flexible foam anti-pressure mattress using strong elastic fastenings, it ensures immediate readiness during fire emergencies or situations where elevators are shut down. This sheet allows caregivers to quickly and safely transport bedridden patients or those with limited mobility through narrow doorways and down stairwells, prioritizing patient security and minimizing response time.

Seamless Integration and Permanent Readiness

The design ensures the sheet is always prepared for immediate deployment:

• Permanent Fix: The sheet is designed to be permanently in place, fixing securely to the bottom of the flexible foam mattress via strong elastic bands. This eliminates the delay of needing to find or fit the sheet during an emergency.

• Manoeuvrability and Flex: The combination of the slippery sheet and the natural flex of the foam mattress allows the patient to be easily guided through narrow doorways and down stairs or steps.

• Universal Single Fit: Available in a Universal Single design to suit standard single beds, and also a specialized size to fit 120cm wide single mattresses.

Enhanced Patient Security and Caregiver Control

The sheet incorporates vital features for maximum safety during transport:

• Patient Safety Belts: Features strong safety belts to hold the patient securely on the mattress during the entire evacuation process.

• Robust Pulling Straps: Strong and robust pulling straps at both the head and foot ends provide caregivers with the firm grip needed for a safe and reliable experience.

• Stairway Holding Strap: A crucial holding strap at the head end allows caregivers to hold back on stairways, preventing the patient from slipping or sliding too quickly.

• Organized Storage: Fastening straps are stored neatly and safely in built-in pockets when not in use, keeping the sheet tidy and minimizing clutter.
