The ResQsheet - Bariatric Size is designed for the emergency evacuation of non-ambulant patients. It is kept in position under the mattress with strong elastic corner straps, allowing for normal daily bed making. In an emergency, webbing straps are quickly secured around the mattress and the patient, enabling a fast and safe evacuation. The patient remains protected by their mattress during the process, facilitating easy transport down stairs to safety.
Key Features
- For emergency evacuation of non-ambulant patients
- Two long pulling straps at each end, sewn with extra loops down the length to allow for more rescuers
- Press studs & pockets for the Cross Straps to help contain the straps and prevent them getting caught in side rails
- Plastic buckles - safer than metal buckles when detached under strain, and will not damage a washing machine
- Three Cross Straps sewn all the way across the material for extra strength - especially good for sliding on rough surfaces
Additional Information
After evacuation, the patient can be left cocooned in the ResQsheet, which may be helpful with patients who are liable to wander. Special Press Studs (Patent Applied For) are on the Pulling Straps and the Cross Straps to prevent the Pulling Straps from falling off the ends of the bed. Two pieces of Miracle Grip Rubber material are sewn to each side, at the top and bottom, to prevent mattress slippage.
The ResQsheet - Bariatric is made from a strong white nylon material, making it easy to see in the dark during night evacuations. The materials used for the ResQsheets are the same as those used for our Lifting Slings, with testing showing they can lift significant weights without failing.

Important
