Reduced Friction: Typically made from low-friction materials like refined nylon with a slick surface, allowing the patient to "glide" during movement.
Ergonomic Handles: Most models feature 8 to 12 reinforced handles distributed along the edges, providing caregivers with a secure grip from any side of the bed.
Hygiene & Durability: Often waterproof, breathable, and machine-washable, making it suitable for long-term home care or high-frequency hospital use.
Labor Efficiency: Designed to allow just 1 or 2 caregivers to perform movements that would otherwise require 4 or 5 people.
Patient Safety: Helps prevent pressure sores (ulcers) by facilitating regular repositioning every few hours as recommended for immobile patients
