TopSheet

TM
TopSheet is used together with a ceiling or mobile lift to avoid heavy manual handling when turning a user.
TopSheet is used for incontinent, bedridden users who must be turned often. TopSheet is also an excellent aid when you
need to hold a heavy user in a lateral position, for instance when assisting with personal hygiene or dressing wounds.
TopSheet is also very suitable when a nervous, demented user in palliative care needs turning, as the process is calm
and gentle and the load is spread over the entire body area.
Check Safety
Visual inspection
Check the condition and function of the assistive device regularly. Always inspect the product after laundering. Check to
ensure that seams and material are free from damage. Check to ensure that fabric is not worn or faded. If there are signs
of wear, the product must be discarded.
Mechanical load
Apply pressure to buckles and handles and verify that they will not open or
break under heavy loads.
Friction test
Low friction - Ensure that the surface is smooth and slides effortlessly.
Compare with a new product.
Always read the manual
Always read the user manuals for all assistive devices used during a transfer.
Keep the user manual where it is accessible to users of the product.

Important information
Do not leave the user unattended during a transfer situation.
To ensure safety, a caregiver should
stand on the side towards which the
user is being turned; alternatively, bed
rails can be used. Never leave the user
unattended.

When a mobile lift is used, the
slingbar should be placed directly
over the suspension loop.
English
Lifting at a bias may entail risk for
tipping. Ensure that the lift wheels
can be moved laterally under
the bed.
