Intended use

DrawSheets should always be used in combination with a SatinSheet product.
DrawSheet models IM4116S and IM4118S are two different
DrawSheets that can be used with BaseSheet. (SatinSheet).
DrawSheet can be used in manual handling from side to side.
SatinSheet 4Direction can be used for manual handling from side to side, and up and down in the bed. The SatinSheet range comprises different models of BaseSheet with  low-friction material and DrawSheets. The choice of model or combination is made with reference to the user’s functions and needs and the carers’ working environment.

Intended environment
Acute care, Long-term care, Home care

Practical handling

Positioning
Position SatinSheet 2Direction with the low-friction material facing upwards in the middle of the bed (Illustrations).
Lay DrawSheet over SatinSheet 2Direction. All SatinSheet models have a “this side up” label to help ensure that the correct side is facing upwards in the bed. An information  label, describing the correct use of the product, is sewn into all SatinSheet models/products.

Use

If the user needs help to turn, SatinSheet is ideal when used with DrawSheet.
The draw sheet helps the user turn from side to side in the bed.
SatinSheet 2Direction can be used to help move the user up and down in the bed and from one side to the other (Illustration 1).
Turning is achieved by grasping the sheet at the user’s hips and shoulders. To achieve a better ergonomic grip, the carer should grasp as much fabric as possible.
Always work with flat wrists and weight transference.
Turning with SatinSheet can also be done by two carers. The carers work together. One carer helps pull on DrawSheet while the other carer pulls down on the mattress at the  level of the user’s hips and shoulders, pushing gently.
Turn the user (Illustration 2). To lock the glide system after turning: Fold the excess material from DrawSheet under the mattress on both sides of the bed.
Before locking the glide system under the mattress, any unevenness/creases should be smoothed to avoid decubitus.
The carers pull simultaneously and diagonally from both sides.
