AirMatt Lateral Air Transfer System

The AirMatt system reduces back injuries and other stresses that may result from lifting patiens for a laterial move. AirMatt also reduces the need for additional personnel to assist in patient transfers. As AirMatt helps prevent injuries, workers compensation and insurance costs may be reduced significantly. For the patient, the AirMatt system means a safer more comfortable move from bed to gurney. AirMatt reduces the need for lifting, shifting or sliding that often adds to pain and discomfort. AirMatt supports the patient safely and results in a smooth, secure transfer.The AirMatt system transfers a patient on a soft nylon mattress designed with hundreds of tiny perforations on the underside. When the small AirMatt air supply is attached, the mattress inflates and pumps air out of these perforations. This continuous air flow helps eliminate friction between the pad and mattress. One person can even transfer the heaviest patients with ease. With the AirMatt System, medical personnel may transport a patient with ease throughout the hospital for various procedures. The patient remains on the AirMatt through orthopedics, nursing, radiology, neurology and oncology procedures. With no metal parts, AirMatt even travels safely through X-ray.
