Jeenie485
The Elevatie Jeenie485 is a supportive hoist sling designed for safe, dignified, and effortless patient movement. Built to handle demanding care environments, it allows smooth repositioning with minimal disturbance to the patient and significantly reduces strain on carers. Strong, adaptable, and simple to use — it’s the quiet workhorse that makes a big difference in daily care.
What is a Repositioning Sheet?
A double-layer, fabric sling designed to work with a compatible hoist system for moving or adjusting a person’s position on the same surface.
It features reinforced ladder-style loops along both sides for secure attachment to a spreader bar, and evenly spaced side handles to support assisted repositioning when required.
The layered construction provides strength and durability without relying on specialist coatings, making it suitable for high-dependency patients, plus-size care, and environments where infection control requires single-patient use.
Common applications include turning a person in bed, adjusting their position for care tasks, or supporting transfers between closely positioned surfaces — all while reducing strain on carers.
Why are they Needed?
Manually moving a person in bed can put significant strain on care staff, increasing the risk of musculoskeletal injury, fatigue, and long-term health issues. For the patient, unassisted repositioning can cause discomfort, skin shear, or loss of dignity — particularly for individuals with limited mobility or complex care needs.
The Elevatie Jeenie485 repositioning sheet enables a controlled, team-based move using a hoist or supported manual technique, helping to evenly share the patient’s weight and reduce the physical effort required. The design supports steady, predictable movement, minimising sudden shifts or uneven lifting. This not only protects carers from injury but also helps the patient feel secure and respected during every transfer or adjustment.
Why Choose Jeenie Repositioning Sheets?
The Elevatie™ Jeenie485 has been purpose-built to make in-bed repositioning safer, faster, and more comfortable for both patient and carer. Its design reduces effort during movement, protecting skin integrity and minimising strain on staff. Five reinforced handles on each side allow ergonomic team positioning, while colour-coded ladder loops give clear, consistent attachment points for hoist-assisted turning — reducing the chance of imbalance and improving user confidence. The central alignment guide ensures accurate placement under the patient every time, helping to streamline set-up in busy clinical environments.
Being single-patient-use means it plays a key role in infection prevention, especially in high-turnover or high-dependency areas. The 500 kg safe working load makes it suitable for bariatric and complex care without compromising safety. Designed to work in harmony with standard hoists, it provides flexibility across acute hospitals, care homes, and community care settings.
