The Reusable Slip Tube is a friction-reducing aid designed to make patient transfers and repositioning smoother, safer, and more efficient. It helps caregivers reduce physical effort during lateral transfers, boosting, and pivoting while minimizing skin shear and discomfort for patients.
Constructed from durable, anti-friction nylon, the slip tube glides on itself to reduce resistance during movement. Its wipeable, latex-free design supports infection control protocols, while its reusable construction allows facilities to maintain performance while managing costs across a wide range of care environments.
Versatile Use Across Patient Movement Tasks
The Reusable Slip Tube is designed for use across multiple departments and care settings, supporting a wide range of repositioning and transfer tasks. Its construction allows it to glide smoothly, reducing resistance and helping caregivers move patients with greater control and less effort.
Its reusable design supports consistent performance while helping facilities manage supply needs and maintain efficient workflows.
The Reusable Slip Tube is engineered for durability and repeated use in clinical environments. Its materials and construction support both cleaning protocols and reliable performance during everyday patient handling tasks.
Care Instructions:
Machine wash warm (120°F / 50°C) after each use and line dry. Inspect regularly for damage such as tears or wear, and discontinue use if compromised.
The Reusable Slip Tube is available in single units or bulk quantities to support facility-wide use. Its reusable design allows it to be assigned to individual patients while maintaining consistent performance over time.
Optional accessories, such as wall dispensers, help improve accessibility and organization, ensuring friction-reducing support is readily available where it is needed most.

The Reusable Slip Tube can be cleaned by wiping between uses or fully laundered as needed. For thorough cleaning, machine wash it in warm water and allow it to line dry. Regular cleaning helps maintain performance and supports infection control protocols.
No, the Reusable Slip Tube is made without latex or PVC. This makes it suitable for a wide range of patients, including those with sensitivities or allergies.
Yes, it features whisper-slide technology, which reduces noise during use. This helps create a quieter care environment while still allowing smooth and controlled patient movement.
Friction-reducing devices like the Reusable Slip Tube are not lifting devices. Instead, they reduce resistance during movement, so a traditional weight limit does not apply. Caregivers should follow proper patient handling practices and refer to movement and force guidelines when using the device.
The slip tube is designed to be reusable for the same patient and can be laundered between uses. Facilities may assign units per patient to maintain hygiene and consistency with infection control protocols.
It is commonly used in hospitals, long-term care facilities, and rehabilitation settings for repositioning, boosting, and lateral transfers. Its versatility makes it useful anywhere patient movement assistance is needed.
