 |
AirPal invented the lateral air transfer and positioning technology, and is the leading innovator in this field for over 20 years. Designed specifically to reduce the risks associated with patient handling, the AirPal is used to transfer patients from bed to stretcher and other areas of the hospital. AirPal dramatically reduces back injuries and increases the efficiency of hospital staff because less people are required to position or transfer patients - all while improving patient comfort and safety. Our Air Supply is CE approved. Rated as Best Bariatric Positioning/Lateral Transfer Device in the market. No weight limit. No Velcro - all systems are manufactured without Velcro in an effort to reduce the possibility of infectious agents. Sani-Liner is attached using non-magnetic snaps which prevent soiling of the AirPal transfer pad as well as preventing wrinkles that could result in skin deterioration.

Designed specifically to reduce the risks associated with patient handling, the AirPal® is used to transfer patients from bed to stretcher and other areas of the hospital. AirPal dramatically reduces back injuries and increases the efficiency of hospital staff because less people are required to position or transfer patients - all while improving patient comfort and safety.
The AirPal works by releasing low-pressure air through perforated chambers. The launderable nylon Patient Positioning Pad is placed under a patient in the same manner as changing a bed sheet. A lightweight portable UL approved air supply is then attached to, and inflates, the Patient Positioning Pad. The air "lifts" the patient as it is released through the perforated underside. The patient is literally transferred on a cushioned film of air, allowing two staff members to perform a task which previously required four to eight, with minimal risk of injury to both staff and patient.
Hospitals using the AirPal system have realized tremendous reductions in the cost of workers' compensation, lost work days and direct medical expenses. The AirPal creates an undeniable decrease in both the frequency and severity of musculoskeletal injuries associated with patient handling. Staff members with previous injuries are able to return to active status sooner due to the benefits in the reduction of lifting necessary for patient transfers. |

Patient placement is accomplished in various ways. In a bed the patient is placed on the AirPal using the same procedure as changing a bed sheet. In other areas the patient is placed directly on the AirPal Patient Positioning Pad, which is already on a stretcher. |
 |
The portable air supply, plugged into a standard AC outlet, is easily connected to the Patient Positioning Pad by a secure flexible hose. |
 |
The Patient Positioning Pad is inflated with low pressure air gently lifting the patient. Air escaping from the perforated underside creates a nearly frictionless surface providing an easy and painless transfer. |
 |
With a simple pulling motion, the attendant effortlessly transfers the patient in comfort and safety. |
