Dec 14, 2015
TransferPad™ Product Line
AirPal OverviewThe AirPal is the original brand in Air Technologies that is revolutionizing the way that lateral transfers are done. With the focus on staff and patient safety, there is no better way to safely transfer a patient from one surface to another than the AirPal. Think about an Air Hockey Table or a hovercraft and you will understand the simple yet amazing technology that can take an 800 lbs person and reduce the push/pull weight to under 15lbs.Its your back and shoulder and also your choice on how to handle your lateral transfer.
TransferPad™ Product Line
How the AirPal WorksThe system works by releasing low-pressure air through perforated chambers in the bottom layer of the TransferPad. This creates an air barrier similar to how a hovercraft operates.
The constant pressure reduces the friction to less than 15 lbs or push/pull force in a lateral transfer, therefor reducing the strain on staff and additionally creating a secure and comfortable experience for the patient.
A four person transfer can effectively be done by two staff with ease therefor freeing up staff.
