Abstract: A patient is moved into position on a turn sheet held with at least one turn sheet holder. The at least one turn sheet holder has at least one pair of jaw halves and lift means for moving said at least one turn sheet holder. The at least one turn sheet holder may grip a turn sheet and lift a portion of the turn sheet to move a patient laying on the sheet. The turn sheet holder includes at least one clamping actuator for forcing first and second jaw halves of the turn sheet holder together with a force provided by using no more than six turn sheet holders sufficient to hold said turn sheet while a patient weighing at least 50 pounds is moved by no more than six turn sheet holders. The turn sheet holder is adjustable to accommodate different thicknesses of turn sheets. The turn sheet is sufficiently strong to avoid tearing under said sufficient force to move a patient weighing at least 50 pounds when provided by using no more than six sheet holders.
