The ComfortGlide® Repositioning Sheet (35″ × 55″, single-patient use, no retention straps) is a specially designed patient-turn and slide accessory aimed at reducing caregiver strain and improving patient repositioning safety and efficiency. Manufactured by ComfortGlide / Medline, it features a low-friction nylon bottom surface that significantly reduces the effort required to initiate and maintain sliding compared to standard draw sheets.
The top surface is a breathable microfiber fabric, comfortable for patients and compatible with low-air-loss or alternating-pressure mattresses. Multiple ergonomic handles around the perimeter provide secure grip points for caregivers to leverage weight distribution and maintain control during repositioning.
This sheet is intended for single-patient use, helping support infection-control protocols by avoiding cross-patient reuse. The 35″ × 55″ standard size is ideal for most adult beds and supports a weight capacity of approximately 450 lbs in this configuration (with no straps).
