Turn Easy Bariatric Fitted Sheet and 4-Way Draw Sheet Set
Bariatric patients have an elevated risk of forming pressure sores, due to their extreme body mass and immobility causing excessive downward pressure. The Turn Easy Bariatric Fitted Sheet and 4-Way Draw Sheet Set allows caregivers to easily reposition or move patients onto their side or back in four directions to alleviate the contact on peak pressure points. Ensure your patients or loved ones are given the best care with this high-quality bariatric, medical bedding set.

Quality Bariatric Bedding for Care Homes and Hospitals
The Turn Easy Sheets Set offers care homes, healthcare and domestic settings comfortable bedding that works for both patients, staff and loved ones. This bariatric bedding set consists of a single polycotton fitted sheet and a four-way draw sheet that will help staff to move bariatric patients up and down and side to side (four directions).
Fitted Sheet with Anti-Slip Peripheral Material
The sides and foot of the fitted sheets are made of high-quality, anti-slip material that prevents your patient slipping off the sides of the bed. It also gives a certain amount of grip to aid movement when entering and exiting, ensuring the low-friction satin panel does not reduce grip control for the patient.
Sewn-On Low Friction Satin Panels
Both the fitted bed sheet and the draw sheet included in this set feature a sewn-on rectangular, low-friction satin panel, which is what sets this medical bedding in high esteem. The satin panel works to prevent friction when moving the patient for a more comfortable experience, while simultaneously reducing the workload and pressure on the caregiver.
What Is a Draw Sheet?
A draw sheet is a small sheet placed usually in the centre over the fitted bottom sheet of the bed, and is used by medical professionals to be able to move patients with ease. As the Turn Easy 4-Way Draw Sheet features a sewed on rectangular satin panel, this allows for even easier and smoother patient handling, facilitating anti-pressure practice. When not in use, the draw sheet can be firmly tucked in ready for the next move.
Regular Movement to prevent Pressure Sores
If you aren't able to move regularly, pressure relief is incredibly important, especially for bariatric patients. When laying in the same position for extended periods of time, constant downward pressure can cause the tissue under the skin to die. Frequently moving immobile patients, either onto their side or back, alleviates the concentrated force on peak pressure points, reducing the risk of pressure sores or ulcers forming.
lOW-fRICTION MATERIAL TO Reduce the Risk of Skin Shear
Skin shear happens as a result of combined downward pressure and friction. It is one of the major causes of skin breakdown and often occurs during transfers or repositioning. Using the satin-panelled, low-friction draw sheet reduces the irritation from regular turning and prevents the risk of skin shear.
What Are the Benefits of Polycotton Fitted Sheets?
The most durable and comfortable care home and hospital bed sheets are the ones made of cotton or a cotton, polyester blend (polycotton). These breathable sheets help patients stay cool and are durable enough to be washed and dried multiple times, while still remaining soft and comfortable for the patient.
