Abstract
A bedsheet device (10) configured to overlay a mattress (12), the bedsheet device (10) comprising: a slide sheet (14, 16) being constructed of a pliable material and having a lower surface (14) which is of a relatively low friction material designed to slide relative to an upper surface of the mattress (12) under the weight of a patient; and reinforcing means (20) affixed to the slide sheet (14, 16) to provide sufficient reinforcement to permit suspension and/or turning of the patient upon the slide sheet (14, 16), said reinforcing means (20) being capable of being manipulated independent of the slide sheet (14, 16) to effect said suspension and/or turning of the patient.

A bedsheet device being configured to overlay a mattress, said bedsheet device comprising:
- a slide sheet being constructed of a pliable material and having a lower surface which is of a relatively low friction material designed under a load or weight of a patient to slide relative to an upper surface of the mattress;
- and
- a plurality of spaced apart reinforcing members each being affixed and extending longitudinally along the upper surface of the slide sheet, and being spaced at a distance from an edge of the slide sheet to permit sliding of said sheet under the load or weight of the patient across the mattress, said reinforcing members capable of being manipulated independent of the slide sheet to effect said sliding, turning and/or suspension of the patient.
