Arjo slide sheets

Arjo slide sheets with handles are designed to help caregivers carry out in-bed repositioning and transfers with less of the physical stress and strain associated with manual handling.

The Arjo slide sheets are easy to access and a cost-effective solution as they do not require floor or ceiling lift to reposition or transfer.

The risks of moving the full body weight of a dependent patient are well recognised. For horizontal transfers and many in-bed movements, the provision of a friction-reducing slide sheet may be a sound solution for reducing physical effort and improving patient comfort (1,2)

The Arjo slide sheets are made of a premium low friction fabric that can be laundered and re-used multiple times. The sewn in handles gives a comfortable grip for pulling and the Arjo pull straps can easily be attached to the handles when extended reach is necessary.

The use of slide sheets may also help to reduce the risk of pressure injuries. Pressure injuries prevalence and incidence is high in many healthcare facilities and they have a significant economic impact for the organizations, and also affect a patient's quality of life, morbidity, and mortality. This type of injury can be prevented with mobility and using textiles with low friction coefficients for individuals with or at risk of pressure injuries, in line with international recommendations (3).
