Satin SIBA Two-Way Base Sheet with Elasticated Straps (90cm x 200cm)

The Satin SIBA Two-Way Base Sheet with Elasticated Straps (90cm x 200cm) is a satin and polycotton sheet that can be easily secure to patient mattresses. Its central satin panel makes it easier for patients to slide into different positions, while the polycotton border adds friction to the rest of the surface so they don’t get too close to the edge of the bed.

Who Can Benefit from the SIBA Two-Way Base Sheet?

The SIBA Base Sheet is an in-bed movement aid that is ideal for enhancing the independence of patients and individuals in home care settings. The central satin surface makes it easier for them to turn or shift if the struggle to move comfortably when lying down, and the polycotton edges help prevent bed falls or slide-related injuries.

Where Can the SIBA Base Sheet Be Used?

This sheet is ideal for use in settings where patients may have limited mobility but need to spend long periods in bed, such as in care facilities. It can be used to increase a patient’s independence, or to help single careers make safer patient transfers (when combined with a top draw sheet). Institutions and applications it would be especially useful for include:

• Community hospitals
• Community nursing
• Hospices
• Home care
• Nursing homes/care homes

Move Safely in Bed

Some patients suffer from injuries or conditions which affect their mobility, making it harder for them to reposition themselves when they’re in bed. To help reduce their risk of bed sores from lying in the same place for too long, the base sheet can make it easier for them to turn or shift throughout the night without needing a carer to assist them.

Aids Patient Transfers

The base sheet can alternatively be used by carers when paired with a top draw sheet. The two sheets can be used by carers to adjust patients in bed without having to lift them directly so they are at a lower risk of back injury.

What Top Draw Sheets Are Available?

There are two types of Satin SIBA Top Draw Sheets available for use with the SIBA Base Sheet. One allows side to side movement only, while the other can be used to shift patients side to side or up and down along the bed. You can learn more by clicking the links below:

How Easy Is it to Use the SIBA Base Sheet?

The SIBA sheet was designed to be very easy to fasten to beds so that it can be used by healthcare workers and at-home patients whose mobility is not too limited. Markers on the slide sheet indicate which way up it should be placed on the mattress, and where on the bed it should be positioned. The elasticated straps on the corners of the sheet can then be strapped over the mattress to keep it in place throughout the night.
