What are MoovEez®? MoovEez® is a friction reducing sheet system, consisting of two regular MoovEez®, or one regular and one fitted bottom, the latest addition to the Slider Sheets line. MoovEez® stay on the bed 24/7, and because they are a distinctive color, it's easy for healthcare staff to identify a patient with repositioning needs. From a housekeeping perspective, the special color makes sorting a breeze! They can be commercially laundered, making them easy to use and easy to care for - treat them like other facility linens.

In independent pressure mapping tests performed with mooveez on an airflow mattress, the difference in pressure when using 2 MoovEez® sheets was insignificant, indicating MoovEez® did not interfere with the effectiveness of the mattress. In another independent study using a Lumbar Motion Monitor, probability for inclusion in a high risk group for lower back injury decreased by 55% when using mooveez, the aqua flat sheet friction reducing device.
