Savaria ErgoSheets, two nylon sheets, item 230100

Item 230100 is the Savaria ErgoSheets 2200, a pair of nylon sheets for moving someone up a bed or turning them. Caregivers hold the webbing and slide. Savaria says not to lift.

What are these sheets for?

• Two nylon sheets with handles on every side, for repositioning in bed. Savaria says the nylon has a silicone treatment so the layers slide.
• The instructions say to slide on a count, and they say not to lift.
• A thinner Ultra size is on the page with no item number. This record is 230100 only.

Which size is 230100?

• 56 x 32 in (142 x 81 cm). The page and the 2019 sheet agree.
• One item number. The Ultra measurement, 66 x 33 in, is not this code.
• Tell us the bed width and we confirm this pair before you order.

How do caregivers use the handles?

• Use a log roll to get the pair underneath. Explain the plan and lock the bed wheels.
• When sliding someone up, move the pillow to the headboard. Hands go palm-up through the handles near the shoulders and hips. Slide together. Do not lift.
• Remove the sheets after the move. Do not leave them under the person or on the bed unattended.

Wear, life and washing

• Check for wear before use. Check the skin if the sheets stay down for a long time.
• The sheet says 4 years or more when use and laundry follow the instructions. That is a service life, not a warranty.
• Machine wash up to 170 F (80 C). Air dry, or tumble on low, up to 104 F (40 C).

Compare

• A tube that slides someone up the bed is a different shape. This page is the flat pair.
• When the person must be lifted, start from patient lifts and slings. A held belt is listed with transfer gait belts.
