They can be utilized to reposition patients comfortably while they are lying down or sitting in bed, as well as to rotate patients into and out of the prone position. When it comes to repositioning patients over an extended period, there is no need to remove the sheet once the patient has been moved. The Glide Sheets minimize friction on the skin during patient movement.

A glide sheet, also known as a transfer sheet or sliding sheet, is a device used in healthcare settings to facilitate the movement and repositioning of patients. It is typically made of a low-friction material that allows for smooth and easy sliding of the patient.
There are several different types of glide sheets available, each designed for specific purposes:
- Flat Glide Sheets: These are simple, rectangular sheets made of low-friction material. They are versatile and can be used for a wide range of patient transfers and repositioning.
- Tubular Glide Sheets: These glide sheets have a tubular shape and are particularly useful for turning and repositioning patients. They provide better support and stability during the transfer process.
- Sliding Board Glide Sheets: These glide sheets consist of a board with a low-friction surface. They are used to bridge gaps or transfer patients between surfaces, such as from a bed to a wheelchair.
- Transfer Sheets with Handles: These glide sheets have handles attached to them, allowing caregivers to have a secure grip during patient transfers. They provide better control and stability during the movement.
- Repositioning Slings: These are specialized glide sheets with straps or loops that can be used to reposition patients with limited mobility. They provide additional support and help redistribute pressure.
When it comes to choosing the appropriate glide sheet for a client, it is essential to consider their specific needs, level of mobility, and medical condition. Different glide sheets may have weight capacity limitations, size variations, or specific features that make them more suitable for certain patients. It is important to consult with healthcare professionals or experts who can assess the client's needs and recommend the most appropriate type of glide sheet for their specific situation.
