Designed specifically to reduce the risks associated with patient handling, the AIR PAL™ is used to transfer patients from bed to stretcher to other areas of the hospital. It reduces back injuries and increases the efficiency of your staff because fewer people are required to transfer patients; while greatly increasing patient comfort. It is radiolucent and artifact free. Patients may remain on the transfer pad for all ancillary procedures, including radiology, CT scan, radiation therapy, heart catheterization, physical therapy, labor and delivery, OR and ER. It is used whenever a lateral transfer is required.
