SafeHandlingSheet is a sheet that can be used for repositioning in bed with both stationary and mobile lifts. It
features sixteen suspension points, eight on each side of the patient. SafeHandlingSheet is designed to meet the
need for repositioning patients in bed.
SafeHandlingSheet is part of a range of different sling models and accessories. The choice of model and material is
determined by the patient’s functional capacity and the situations in which the product is to be used.

Manual
SafeHandlingSheet
Vancare's slings and lifts are part of the Vancare concept, which takes a holistic approach to patient
transfers. Vancare has 4 categories of transfers: transfer, positioning, support and lifting.

Description of SafeHandling Sheet:
T
he SafeHandling Sheet is designed so that it can be connected
to the slingbar hooks to enable repositioning higher up in bed and
turning in bed.
Note: with the SafePatientHandlingSheet “W”, place the SafePatient-
HandlingSheet on the bed with the checked pattern material face up
as shown in the picture.
When repositioning is completed, bed the straps under the mat-
tress or place them in the sidepockets.
Tip!
- Use with plain sheets on top of standard SafeHandlingSheet
- SafeHandlingSheet W does not need additional sheets.
- The extra material available with the SafeHandlingSheet
allows the user to be repositioned several times before you need
to reposition the user on the SafePatientHandlingSheet.
- Recommended for use with traversing (x-y) ceiling lift systems
- If possible, consider moving the bed in the first place instead
off shoot/draw the user when he/she has lifted from the surface.

Higher up in bed:
Connect the five uppermost straps on both sides of the SafeHan-
dlingSheet to the slingbar. Take care to eliminate as many friction
points as possible. Start raising the lift and move the patient higher
up in bed.
Turning in bed:
If the user is to be positioned in the center of the bed after turning,
it is recommended to first reposition the user (see: Higher Up in
Bed) laterally to one side of the bed and then roll the user towards
the center of the bed.
To perform the roll, connect the four center-most lift straps on the
side of the SafeHandlingSheet (side opposite the direction of the
intended roll) to the sling bar. If bed rails are not used, a caregiver
should stand on either side of the bed to ensure the safety of the
user. Raise the lift to gently turn the patient towards the center of
the bed.
Change of SafeHandlingSheet:
When replacing an old SafeHandlingSheet with a new one, start
with a lift as previously described. When the user is lifted clear of
the bed, place the new SafeHandlingSheet centered on the bed.
Lower the user back down to the bed and disconnect the old
SafeHandlingSheet from the sling bar. Connect the new SafeHan-
dlingSheet to the sling bar and roll the user onto their side (see:
Turning in Bed) and roll / tuck the old SafeHan¬dlingSheet behind
the user, then roll the user back down onto the bed. Do another
turn with the new SafeHandlingSheet in the opposite direction and
pull away the old SafeHandlingSheet from behind the user, then roll
the user back down onto the bed.
Use of SafeHandlingSheet:

Care of the product:
Read the product label. Do not use rinsing agent. To ensure
maximum material life, hang dry or
tumble dry on low heat.
