Washable Slide Sheet
The Jeenie Slide Sheet is a durable, washable patient handling aid designed for safe, dignified movement and repositioning. Made from premium low-friction fabric, it allows smooth, controlled transfers in any direction, reducing strain on carers while supporting skin integrity. Fully washable at 60°C, it supports robust infection control practices without compromising performance.
With subtle handle colour differences (not fabric colour) to indicate size, and hoist-compatible handles for assisted turning, the Jeenie Slide Sheet is a long-term solution for environments prioritising sustainability, safety, and inclusion.
What is a Slide Sheet?
A slide sheet is a low-friction fabric device that enables safe patient movement across flat surfaces such as beds, trolleys, or operating tables. Instead of lifting or dragging the patient — which can cause injury — the sheet reduces resistance so the patient glides smoothly with minimal effort from carers. This supports dignity, skin protection, and staff wellbeing.
Why are Slide Sheets Needed?
Manual repositioning without the right tools can result in back injuries, shoulder strain, and fatigue for carers — and skin damage or discomfort for patients. Slide sheets significantly reduce friction and effort, helping teams to move patients more easily, safely, and respectfully. They are an essential part of modern manual handling practice and safer workforce strategies.
