Intended Use

Transfer Sheet
Transfer sheets allow caregivers to laterally transfer a
patient without lifting, reducing the risk of caregiver
fatigue and musculoskeletal injury.
Transfer sheets may also be used to turn a patient onto
their side or slide them up and down in their bed.
Transfer sheets can reduce patient anxiety and/or
discomfort experienced with traditional transfer methods.
The sheets are designed to reduce friction and shearing of
the skin as one sheet always slides against itself and not the
patient.
