Description
The Air Powered Transfer mattress is attached by a hose to the air supply or motor that inflates the mattress, comfortably cradling the patient, while constantly forcing air to the bottom, which is designed with many small air hole perforations. Once fully inflated, the air released through the holes, creating a cushion of air (similar to that of an air hockey table), that reduces the sheer force required to start moving a patient from one position to another. This greatly reduces the effort by up to 90% and overcomes the problem of the repetitive strain that a caregiver faces when moving multiple patients during the day. They can effortlessly move the patients with only one or two staff personnel, where normally it would take 4 to sometimes 8 to complete the transfer.
AIR POWERED TRANSFER AND POSITIONING SYSTEM:
They are more transparent than the patient when it comes to being radiolucent. The Transfer Mat can continue to provide comfort while allowing staff to reducing injury risks from pulling or lifting a patient. This is a tremendous benefit to CT techs and X-Ray techs that are handling high volumes of patients that are physically unable to transfer by themselves. Staff prefer to use the Air Transfer System to increase patient comfort and improve the efficiency of the patient transfer process.
