TLC Positioning Pad
Skil-Care TLC Moisture-Wicking Patient Positioning Pad & Transfer Sheet
Moisture-Wicking Cozy Cloth Top, Reinforced Webbed Transfer Handles, Low-Friction Nylon or Hook & Loop Backings, 250 lbs Weight Capacity, and Repeated Machine Launderable Durability
Managing resident positioning, bed mobility, and moisture control requires versatile, skin-friendly transfer equipment. The Skil-Care TLC Positioning Pad & Transfer Sheet is engineered for dual-purpose utility in bed and wheelchair environments, providing a soft surface that whisks moisture away from delicate tissue while facilitating smooth caregiver transfers and lateral repositioning.
Upholstered in ultra-soft, launderable Cozy Cloth fabric, this pad draws urine away from sensitive skin to protect skin integrity and enhance resting comfort. Reinforced with heavy-duty webbed handles, it allows caregivers to execute ergonomic repositioning without pulling on arms or legs. Available in low-friction nylon or hook-and-loop compatible backing configurations, it supports up to 250 lbs and stands up to repeated institutional laundering.
Key Performance Features & Benefit Highlights
- Moisture-Wicking Skin Protection: Absorbs and wicks fluids away from vulnerable skin to help prevent moisture-associated skin damage (MASD) and irritation.
- Soft Launderable Cozy Cloth Fabric: Plush top layer provides exceptional tactile comfort for bed or wheelchair seating.
- Reinforced Webbed Transfer Handles: Ergonomically positioned web handles simplify lateral boosting, turning, and transfer maneuvers.
- Versatile Backing Options: Choose between a low-friction nylon bottom for easy sliding transfers or a hook-and-loop compatible backing for secure placement.
- 250 lbs Weight Capacity: Heavy-duty reinforced stitching safely supports weight-bearing repositioning up to 250 lbs.
- Commercial Machine Launderable: Designed for institutional laundering routines to maintain sanitary conditions over time.
Mobility Aid & Support Insight: Friction and shear forces during bed repositioning are leading causes of skin tears and pressure injury development. Combining low-friction backing fabrics with heavy-duty webbed handles allows caregivers to glide patients smoothly rather than dragging, preserving fragile skin integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the benefit of the low-friction nylon bottom (SKU 555012)?
A: The smooth nylon backing reduces surface friction against bed sheets, making it significantly easier for caregivers to boost or slide residents in bed with minimal physical strain.
Q: How does this pad protect skin from moisture?
A: The top Cozy Cloth layer rapidly wicks urine and moisture into the core layers away from the resident's skin, reducing wetness exposure and skin breakdown risks.
Q: Can these pads be washed in commercial laundries?
A: Yes! The TLC positioning pads are engineered from high-durability fabrics designed to withstand repeated machine washing and drying cycles.
