Positioning
Position SatinSheet 2Direction with the low-friction mate-
rial facing upwards in the middle of the bed (Illustrations
A, B and C).
Lay the draw sheet over SatinSheet 2Direction. All Satin-
Sheet models have a "this side up" label to help ensure
that the correct side is facing upwards in the bed. An in-
formation label, describing the correct use of the product,
is sewn into all SatinSheet models/products.
Use
If the client needs help to turn, SatinSheet is ideal when
used with a draw sheet.
The draw sheet helps the client turn from side to side in
the bed.
A SatinSheet 4Direction can be used to help move the
client up and down in the bed and from one side to the
other (Illustration 1).
Turning is achieved by grasping the sheet at the client'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 Satin-
Sheet while the other carer pulls down on the mattress
at the level of the client's hips and shoulders, pushing
gently.
Practical handling
Turn the client (Illustration 2). To lock the glide system af-
ter turning: Fold the excess material from the draw sheet
in 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 decu-
bitus. The carers pull simultaneously and diagonally from
both sides.
