MIP Under-Mattress Emergency Evacuation Sheet
An evacuation sheet from MIP Inc. that stays under the mattress, cocooning a patient for a safe, controlled drag evacuation during an emergency. It suits hospitals, clinics, training centres and emergency services sourcing dependable equipment across the UAE and GCC.
The MIP Emergency Evacuation Sheet is designed to remain in place underneath a patient's mattress at all times, so it is ready for immediate use in the event of a fire or other emergency requiring rapid evacuation. During an evacuation, the sheet wraps around the patient, cocooning them securely within the mattress to form a protective sledge that can be dragged rather than carried, reducing the physical effort needed from staff moving a patient who cannot walk unaided.
Drag loops positioned at both the head and foot ends allow responders to tow the patient from the building efficiently, and two alternative securing methods are available to keep the evacuation sheet properly closed around the patient during the process. Measuring 185 by 85 cm and finished in red for quick identification, the sheet is a practical, low-maintenance piece of emergency equipment compared with more complex evacuation devices.
Care homes, hospitals and residential facilities for patients with limited mobility keep evacuation sheets like this permanently fitted to beds as a standing part of their fire and emergency evacuation planning.
