MIP UK has a handle on improving accessibility of its Swift In-Bed Repositioning System
Incontinence solutions specialist MIP UK has announced the launch of a new addition to its Swift In-Bed Repositioning System range which provides the opportunity to reduce the number of carers needed to undertake repositioning in bed.
The Swift Slider with Handles offers a new addition to the Swift In-Bed Repositioning System range which gives the option to be hooked up to a hoist.
An affordable in-bed repositioning system, the Swift In-Bed Repositioning System range features two elements, the Swift Slider and the UltraSlide Bottom Sheet, which work together to support repositioning and turning manoeuvres in bed.
There are three options of sliders; a standard slider, long length slider and a slider with handles. The UltraSlide Bottom Sheet has central low-friction panel significantly reducing resistance when used in conjunction with a Swift Slider.
The stretch SleepKnit construction provides a smooth surface and fits most healthcare mattresses (standard and bariatric) including beds with an alternating air pressure mattress. The sliders features a low friction backing and can be tucked in when not in use making it readily available when needed.
The durable synthetic fabrics used, ensures longevity in demanding environments, as well as providing maximum comfort to the bed occupant. The system stays on the bed at all times and benefits from a discreet and dignified design, to look like a standard bedding when not in use.
Swift is a washable product, which is ideal for residential and community use, but due to its relatively low cost it can also be used in hospitals.
Founded in Canada over 45 years ago, healthcare textile company MIP originally manufactured and supplied the first adult reusable briefs to the healthcare industry. Today, MIP offers a range of repositioning and handling products from slide sheets to in-bed repositioning systems, such as Swift. Earlier this year, the healthcare textile company launched a range of bedding protector products to suit a variety of mattress sizes, all designed to provide protection, comfort and durability.
