AirPal air-assisted patient transfer system
With the AirPal® patient transfer system, you can transfer patients from one surface to another and reposition within the bed safely, comfortably and efficiently.
AirPal supports the patient on a bed of air — an elevating effect created by air flowing through the perforated underside of the AirPal transfer mattress, lifting the patient away from the bed surface.
Safely: Air Assisted Lateral Transfer devices significantly reduce both biomechanical demands and injury risk.¹
Comfortably: Cushioning the patient on a bed of air, AirPal can help keep discomfort to a minimum. Demonstrated to significantly reduce physical demands on caregivers, AirPal ranks the most preferred air-assisted device in terms of both comfort and performance.²
Efficiently: In most cases AirPal requires only two caregivers to safely transfer a patient. And, because AirPal can be left under the patient, this saves time if another transfer is necessary.
To assist you in providing the best care possible, here are some resources that you might find useful:
