How does the Mobilex tube slide sheet make patient repositioning smoother?

The Mobilex 278012 tube slide sheet is a closed transfer aid designed for repositioning and moving a patient on a flat surface. Its tubular construction and low-friction nylon material help reduce resistance during movement. This allows the caregiver to turn, pull or correct the position of a lying or sitting user more smoothly.

The 278012 model measures 140 × 68 cm and is suitable for everyday care routines at a bed, mattress, care facility or hospital. The product is intended for positioning and surface movement, not for lifting the patient.

Dependent users

The tube slide sheet supports repositioning of users who cannot move independently on the mattress. Reduced friction helps the caregiver perform the movement calmly and with more control.

Partially active users

A user who can cooperate during care benefits from a smoother movement in the selected direction. The sheet supports small position corrections and moving higher in bed.

During rehabilitation

The product may support repeated repositioning routines performed according to a care plan. The choice of sheet and transfer technique should be discussed with a physiotherapist, technician or healthcare professional.
