Evacuation Sheets

The Air Mattress Evacuation Sheet is fitted under an alternating air mattress on a permanent basis so it is there whenever an emergency may arise. In the event that an evacuation of the building takes place, the sheet enables the whole mattress to be turned into an evacuation sledge.

The Air Mattress Evacuation Sheet is similar to the Evacuation Sheet but instead of a general anti-pressure mattress, it is designed to be used with an alternating air mattress. The air mattress evacuation sheet has eight different outlets to ensure the correct tubing can still be connected to the mattress.

The evacuation sheet is attached to the underneath of the mattress and can remain there at all times, ensuring it is ready for immediate use in the event of an emergency. Large pockets with elasticated corners ensure the evacuation sheet fits most depths of mattress.

In the event of an emergency, the sheet turns the entire mattress into an evacuation sledge. The following features ensure the patient's safety when in use:

• Securing straps to hold the patient in place
• An elongated foot pocket to hold the user's feet in place.
• You need two people to operate the device.
• In order to safely clean your Evacuation Sheet, either machine wash at a temperature not exceeding 60°C or simply wash down with anti-bacterial wipes.
• Instruction Manual

Please note: These sheets are not suitable for active mattresses (air mattress). If you require an evacuation sheet for an active mattress, please see the Evacuation Sheet for Active Mattress (Air Mattress).

Thorpe Mill's emergency evacuation sheet fixes permanently to the underside of a flexible foam mattress, by the strong elastics located on the corners of the sheet.

When used in an emergency, the mattress itself becomes an emergency sledge, easily allowing two individuals to evacuate a patient through doorways and down stairs to exit the building.

Due to the lifesaving nature of these devices, it is recommended that a separate evacuation sheet is used for drills and training purposes. This will ensure that the sheet used in an emergency has been exposed to minimal wear and tear.
