Sliding Mat – The Smart Solution for Effortless Patient Movement in Nepal
What is a Sliding Mat?
A Sliding Mat, also known as a Patient Transfer Mat, is a specially designed low-friction tool that allows caregivers to move patients smoothly and safely across surfaces like beds, chairs, or stretchers.
Unlike a sliding sheet, a sliding mat provides extra stability and padding, making it ideal for heavier or less mobile patients.
Sliding mats are widely used in:
-
Hospitals and Intensive Care Units
-
Rehabilitation Centres
-
Home Care and Elderly Care Facilities
Benefits of Using a Sliding Mat

Safe and Controlled Transfers – Ensures smooth, comfortable, and secure patient movement.
-
Protects Caregivers – Reduces strain, back injury, and fatigue during manual handling.
-
Durable and Long-Lasting – Made from high-quality nylon or polyester with a coated inner surface for easy gliding.
-
Boosts Efficiency – Simplifies repositioning, turning, and lateral transfers, saving time and energy.
-
Perfect for Home Care – Compact, portable, and easy to maintain, ideal for caregivers at home.
Why Sliding Mats Are Essential in Healthcare
In modern healthcare, sliding mats are vital for safe and dignified patient transfers.
They promote occupational safety and ensure comfort for patients with limited mobility.
Healthcare institutions and caregivers rely on sliding mats in Nepal for effective patient handling and reduced injury risk.
