BetterLiving Slide Sheets are designed to reduce friction and improve the ease of transfer. They aid in transfer and repositioning either independently or assisted.
They are available in two types:
Single Patient Use (disposable) and Washable (reusable) variants to suit most applications. With heat-sealed and hemmed edges (reusable only) these slide sheets are used to help improve manual handling practices.
Application
Slide sheets can be used individually when folded in half or ideally with one sheet placed on top of another.
Regular Maintenance
Check slide sheets frequently for any signs of damage, tearing or fraying. If in doubt, discontinue use. The condition of the Slide Sheet may deteriorate over time, due to prolonged exposure to sunlight, the cumulative effects of laundering, contact with sharp or abrasive surfaces or edges, etc.
The product must therefore be inspected for signs of damage or wear prior to each use. In the event that signs of damage or wear are apparent, the product should be replaced.

Care & Cleaning
BL1000
This is a single patient use slide sheet. It is not washable and should be disposed of once soiled or after use in highly infectious scenarios. Small spills can be wiped down with a mild soapy solution.
BL1001
Simply use a mild soap solution and rinse carefully. Do not use harsh detergents, solvents, or bleach. For increased infection control, machine washes up to 80°C, increasing and decreasing the temperature in stages to avoid damage to the yarn and shrinkage. Air dry when possible, using a cool tumble dryer temperature not exceeding 50°C if necessary. Never place in a hot drum or expose to extreme temperatures.
