A 'slippery sheet' is placed on a bed or gurney under the patient's body to allow them to be easily moved over the surface of the bed. The friction reducing material on the side of the sheet next to the bed allows the patient to be moved much easier than they would be without the use of the 'slippery sheet'. This is safer for both the patient and the caregiver.
