Smooth, Safe, and Supportive Patient Transfers
This breathable patient transfer slide sheet is designed for low‑effort repositioning and transfers. Made from high‑quality green nylon with a slip‑coated interior, it offers the same smooth, low‑friction performance commonly associated with slippery sam–style slide sheets.
Featuring an endless, tube‑style design with hemmed sides, the sheet allows one layer to glide over the other—further reducing friction and making movement even easier for both the caregiver and the user.
The breathable, quick‑drying fabric supports everyday hygiene, while the non‑slip exterior helps keep the sheet stable during handling. Ideal for home care, aged‑care facilities, and clinical settings, this slide sheet is a dependable tool for efficient and dignified patient care.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes is the patient transfer slide sheet available in?
The slide sheet is available in three sizes: 95x75cm, 135x75cm, and 150x75cm. The larger sizes are suitable for bariatric users or situations where additional coverage is needed during repositioning.
How does the tube design reduce effort during transfers?
The endless tube construction means the sheet has two layers that rotate over each other, so only the inner surfaces are in contact with each other rather than with the patient. This creates a very low-friction glide that makes repositioning easier for both the caregiver and the person being moved.
Is the slide sheet suitable for home care use?
Yes, the slide sheet is designed for use in a variety of settings including home care, hospitals, and assisted-living facilities. It is suitable for elderly, disabled, bariatric, and post-operative individuals, making it versatile across different care environments.
Can I order the patient transfer slide sheet for delivery across New Zealand?
Yes, all three sizes are available from MoveSmart with delivery throughout New Zealand. The nylon construction is durable, lightweight, and easy to clean, making it well-suited for regular daily use in care settings.
