Medline ComfortGlide Repositioning Sheets, Reusable
Move patients more safely and easily with Comfort Glide Repositioning Sheets, designed and tested to help reduce the exertion needed to turn patients. Lifting patients manually can cause staff injuries. 20% of nurses leave direct care positions as a result of low back pain, creating high costs for facilities. Studies show that patient repositioning using a low-friction glide sheet may help reduce the risk of musculoskeletal strain and injuries to caregivers. Safe patient handling is equally important to patients. Bed-ridden patients are at risk for pressure ulcers, which can develop in as little as one hour. Frequent repositioning, using transfer aids to reduce friction and shear, is recommended to help prevent the development of pressure ulcers.
