Haines^® SallyTube^® slide tubes or ‘move tubes’ are slide sheets sewn into tubes to facilitate transfers without the need for a second slide sheet. For general ward use, they can be used with one patient for the duration of their stay and wiped down as needed or, where a higher level of infection control is required, disposed of after use.

Features:

• Silicone-coated polyester taffeta - heat-sealed with sewn join to slide on itself
• Single patient use – alleviates the risk of cross-contamination associated with reusable move tubes
• Ready to grab and go – no need for staff to risk patient handling injuries while waiting for reusable move tubes to return from the laundry
• Consistent slip quality (unlike old over-laundered move tubes)
• Multi-directional
• Radiolucent – can be used for X-rays/CT scans
• Individually sealed
• Handy dispenser system
• Significant cost savings – around one third of the price of reusable move tubes, with no laundering costs
