Air Mattress Patient Transfer
Air mattress systems for patient transfer are an innovative solution designed to improve safety, comfort, and efficiency during bedside-to-bed, ward-to-transport, or intra-facility movements. By reducing friction and distributing pressure evenly, these low-air-loss or alternating-pressure pads minimize the risk of skin shearing, pressure ulcers, and caregiver strain. Typically composed of a series of interconnected air cells or bladders, the mattress is inflated to create a thin, fluid-like air film beneath the patient, allowing staff to slide them gently without lifting.
