TurnSheet
SystemRoMedic
TurnSheet is bedded in the bed and features an anti-friction material that makes turning or repositioning higher up in bed
easier for both the patient and the caregiver. TurnSheet consists of two sections: a mattress cover and a turning cover.
The mattress cover is bedded around the mattress and the turning cover is then placed over it. The mattress cover has a
mid-section with anti-friction material. The sides have friction material that prevents sliding.
SystemRoMedic is a series of different models of transfer assistive devices. The choice of assistive devices depends on
the transfer situation and the patient's functional capability and needs.
Functional inspection
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.
Functional inspection
Test TurnSheet's sliding function by rolling it and noting how easily it
glides. If possible, compare with a new product.
Similarly, test the friction material in the same way. Check to ensure that
the surface is rough and still provides friction.
Note
Be aware that there is a risk of the patient sliding out of bed. Take care to ensure that the
mattress is sufficiently wide, so that there is anti-slip material on both edges of the mattress
cover.
Placement
The mattress cover is placed
with the sliding surface in the
middle of the bed and the rough
friction surfaces evenly distrib-
uted on both sides. The mattress
cover is secured around the
mattress with Velcro strips.
