Positioning
Position SatinSheet 4Direction with the low-friction mate-
rial (satin) uppermost in the middle of the bed (Illustrations
A, B and C). If necessary, a draw sheet can be laid over the
SatinSheet.
All SatinSheet models have a "this side up" label indicating
which side of the sheet should face upwards in the bed.
An information label, describing the correct use of the
product, is sewn into all SatinSheet models/products.
Before locking the glide system under the mattress, any
unevenness/creases should be smoothed to avoid decubi-
tus. The assistants pull simultaneously and diagonally from
both sides.
Use
Turning with SatinSheet 4Direction (Illustration 3)
Always use SatinSheet 4Direction with one of the
SatinSheet models.
The backside of the SatinSheet 4Direction is made in a low-
friction material. It is ideal for use with bariatric users. The
procedure for turning with SatinSheet 4Direction is identi-
cal with the procedure for turning with SatinSheet and a
draw sheet.
To turn a user in bed: Grasp the draw sheet at hips and
shoulders. To achieve a better ergonomic grip, the assistant
should grasp as much fabric as possible.
Always work with flat wrists and weight transference.
Turning with SatinSheet can also be done by two assis-
tants. The assistants work together. One assistant helps pull
on SatinSheet while the other assistant pulls down on the
mattress at the level of the users hips and shoulders, push-
ing gently.
Practical handling
Turn the user.
To lock the glide system after turning: Fold the excess ma-
terial from the draw sheet in under the mattress on both
sides of the bed.
Moving the user higher up in the bed (Illustration 4)
To move the user higher up in the bed, grasp the Sat-
inSheet 4Direction at both sides of the users shoulders.
Standing with one foot forward, the assistant pulls, using
weight transference.
Sitting up in bed with SatinSheet 4Direction -
(Illustration 5)
To prevent the user sliding down in the bed when sitting
up, part of the SatinSheet 4Direction can be folded in
under the user. Then fold SatinSheet in under the mattress,
although only at the hip. The bedhead can then be raised.
SatinSheet functions here as a brake.
