ABSTRACT:
A deivce for manipulating bedridden patients in a hospital bed into various positions of rest comprises a flexible, pliant sheet of porous fabric with a removable absorbent pad and a pair of tie-straps extending outwardly from each side for removably securing the sheet to the bed in an extended position beneath the torso of the patient and a pair of handles extending from the side portions whereby an individual may move one side portion of the sheet into partially encircling relation to the torso of the patient for rolling the patient from a supine position into a comfortable position on one side. The tie-straps on either side are releasable from the lower bed railings of one side of the bed to be refastened on the top bed railings on the same side of the bed where the remaining tie-straps are still fastened to hold the sheet to the bed railings in the partially encircling position to insure uniform and comfortable engagement of the sheet and pad with the patient's torso. In one embodiment the pad is removably secured to the top surface of the sheet, and in another embodiment the pad is removably received between two layers of the sheet.
