What is a drawsheet?

A drawsheet is a type of bed sheet that is used in healthcare settings to aid in the movement of patients. It is typically made of a strong, durable fabric such as cotton or polyester and is placed on top of the regular bed sheets. The drawsheet is designed to be easily grasped by healthcare workers, allowing them to slide patients up in bed, reposition them, or transfer them to a different surface. It can also be used to protect the mattress from bodily fluids or other spills, and can be easily removed and laundered. Some drawsheet designs have handles or straps attached to make it easier for the healthcare worker to grab and move the patient. Drawsheets are commonly used in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and other settings where patient mobility is a concern.
