Friction Reduction

Slide Sheets

MedCo Technology Slide Sheets close the gap between safe patient mobilization equipment and the mobilization tasks caregivers face every day — protecting skin from friction and shear while easing the strain that boosting and repositioning put on caregivers. We’ve built simple, practical procedures for Slide Sheet use with every patient type, across every care environment. Choose Single Patient, Disposable or our Reusable Slide Sheet fabric, engineered to withstand more than 200 standard washes — either way, they are one of the most cost-effective tools in your safe patient mobilization program.

Superior Slide Sheet fabric

  • Available in Single Patient, Disposable or Reusable versions

Use Cases

A simple tool for many tasks

  • On-bed boosting, turning, and repositioning

How It Works

Friction-Reducing Fabric, Made Simple

Easy to apply and easy to remove, MedCo Technology Slide Sheets provide comfortable, safe patient mobilization across every specialty department and care environment.

Slide the fabric underneath a patient of any size to create a double layer. The coating and durable woven base let caregivers glide it smoothly into place — without it sticking to slings, bed sheets, or gloves. That double layer between patient and support surface is a simple, cost-effective way to protect skin while opening up a full range of mobilization procedures. Once the task is done, the Slide Sheets are removed and stored for safety.
