ABSTRACT:
A fabric device useful in facilitating the movement of a person's body while lying on a bed, resting surface, examining table or the like. The fabric device comprises a first fabric made from a non-woven material similar to HANDI-WIPE material. This first fabric is secured to an identically sized and shaped second fabric of relatively frictionless material such as woven, synthetic material or even a plastic sheet.
Two such fabric devices can be utilized in combination with an OB/GYN physician's examining table, bed or other resting surface. A first fabric device is positioned on the table or bed with the non-woven material face down and secured to the table top if it would slip thereon. The second fabric device is positioned with its frictionless material contacting the frictionless material of the first fabric device. For the examining table, application, typically the examining paper would then be interposed between the patient's body and the non-woven material of the second fabric device. The interfacing frictionless materials facilitate patient movement along the length of the table or rotating movement on the bed or resting surface. Also, the combined fabric can be seamed end to end so as to form a tube with the second fabric of relatively frictionless material facing inwardly. In combination with a bed or resting surface, the combined fabric device(s) would be of sufficient length and width to extend across a portion of the bed, and typically from the mid-back to thigh area of the person reclining thereon.
The first fabric can be diagonally stitched along a plurality of locations along the length to provide stability and increase wear.
