The Alpha Sliding Mats reduce the frictional resistance while moving the patient. They are particularly helpful in easing patient transfers in bed, into the shower gurney, the wheelchair etc. Depending on the patients functional capacities, the Sliding Mat also supports the chest and pelvis for positioning and turning onto the side. Sliding Mats can also be used to transfer heavy patients, patients requiring special care and pre-medicated patients from a supine to a prone position.

The Turn Sheet consists of three parts: a large Fitted Sheet which is placed on the mattress, a large Sliding Sheet and a Non-Slip Mat.The upper side of the Sliding Sheet is made of cotton/natural ticking. The Turn Sheet is used for pain-sensitive patients, heavy patients, and special care patients. Moving and laterally repositioning patients is made much easier. Rolling up the Turn Sheet against the patients body in a lateral position and then fixing it in place with a bed sheet provides simple and gentle lateral position support.
