Patient Slide Sheet and Transfer Set ABSO® Slide + Caress Slide

ABSO® Slide Set has two parts: the ABSO Slide underpad with handles and the satin-finish Caress Slide draw sheet. When the two satin surfaces overlap, the set slides in all directions, so caregivers can move and reposition patients in bed with less effort while the mattress stays protected from liquids.

Protects Both Patient and Bed

Pulling a bedridden patient up the bed, turning them or moving them to another bed is demanding for both the patient and the caregiver. ABSO® Slide Set is designed to make this easier. It combines all the benefits of a washable reusable underpad with a patient transfer aid.

Caress Slide, the bottom part, is a satin-finish draw sheet whose tuckings are laminated with a waterproof, breathable PU membrane. ABSO Slide, the top part, is a multi-layer absorbent underpad with heavy-duty handles sewn on both sides. With the satin surfaces of both products overlapping, the set slides in all directions and caregivers move the patient by holding the handles.

For the best result, use both parts together with ABSO Slide on top. This gives maximum incontinence protection and positioning support. The set is recommended for home and institutional use in cases of medium incontinence.

Transfer aid

Easy Positioning, Continuous Protection

↔️

Slides in All Directions

With the satin surfaces of ABSO Slide and Caress Slide overlapping, the patient can be moved up, down and sideways with little effort.

🤲

Heavy-Duty Handles

Handles sewn on both sides of ABSO Slide help caregivers hold and position the patient safely.

💧

Top Surface Stays Dry

The top layer of technical yarns moves liquid quickly to the layers below and dries in a few minutes, so the patient does not feel wet.

🛡️

100% Waterproof

Liquid is locked in the layers below and the waterproof PU membrane keeps it away from the mattress. Caress Slide’s laminated tuckings extend the protection to the edges.

🌬️

Breathable Construction

The breathable PU membrane and fully laminated layers help keep skin dry and help reduce the risk of pressure sores.

🧺

Washable and Reusable

Washable up to 90 °C. Made from recycled material and phthalate free.

Safety Checks for Transfer Aids

Check
What to do
Visual check
Confirm that the material and seams are not damaged and that the material is not worn or bleached.
Mechanical load or pressure
Apply pressure to the handles and seams and make sure that the seams will not burst and the handles will not break under heavy loads.
Stability check
Carefully bend the fabric to verify that it is elastic but still feels stable and solid.
Low friction
Make sure the sliding surface is smooth. Ironing the satin product affects its sliding properties negatively. Compare with a new product.
High friction
Make sure the non-slide surface is rough and restricts the movement of the transfer aid. Compare with a new product.

Checks are based on the transfer aid safety information in the Gentuğ Medical catalogue. Do not use a product that is damaged or has lost its sliding properties.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ABSO Slide Set?

ABSO Slide Set is a two-piece patient slide sheet and transfer set: the absorbent ABSO Slide underpad with handles on top and the satin-finish Caress Slide draw sheet underneath. With the satin surfaces overlapping, the patient can be moved in bed in all directions with less effort, and the set also protects the mattress from liquids.

Can ABSO Slide or Caress Slide be used on its own?

ABSO Slide can be used on its own as a washable underpad. For transfer and positioning, using it together with Caress Slide is recommended for the best sliding and protection. When both parts are used, ABSO Slide must always be on top.

Which incontinence level is it for?

The set is recommended for medium incontinence. The top layer moves liquid quickly to the layers below, where it is locked in, and the waterproof PU membrane keeps it from reaching the mattress.

How do I wash and care for it?

Washable up to 90 °C. Do not bleach, do not dry clean and do not iron; ironing damages the sliding properties of the satin. Check the fabric, seams and handles before each use.

Which certificates does it have?

ABSO Slide is certified to OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 (21.HTR.72899 Hohenstein HTTI, Class 1), phthalate free and made from recycled material. Its packaging carries the CE mark and the medical device (MD) symbol. Gentuğ Tekstil is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified and a Sedex member.
