PITTSBURGH, Nov. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- "We work as orderlies in the operating room transferring patients daily. We thought there should be a better way to help patients on and off beds," said one of two inventors, from Southampton, N.Y., "so we invented the SMITH & MACK AIR GLIDE. Our design secures a patient during transfers and even during the Trendelenburg position and it could help to prevent transfer-related injuries."
The patent-pending invention provides an improved air transfer mat for transferring patients in a hospitals or similar medical facilities. In doing so, it ensures that a patient remains stabilized during the transfer process. As a result, it enhances comfort and safety and it could help to reduce pressure on the head, neck, shoulders and back. The invention features an effective and ergonomic design that is convenient and easy to use so it is ideal for hospitals and medical facilities. Additionally, a prototype is available.
