Designed specifically to reduce the risks associated with patient handling, the AirPal® Platform is used to transfer patients from bed to stretcher and other areas of the hospital. The AirPal Platform  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 Platform 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 Platform. The air "lifts" the patient as it is released through the perforated underside. The patient is literally transferred on a cushion of air, allowing two staff members to perform a task which previously required four to eight.

With its patented ergonomic length color coded transfer straps, the AirPal Platform is a superior manufactured product and offers real value through an extended service life. Specialty engineered fabrics for clinical environments are used throughout (Lectrolite®, Sure Chek Fusion III®, Linea 70®). All seams on the AirPal Platform are double stitched (not heat sealed) and attachment points are reinforced throughout. As a result, AirPal warrantees the Platform for five years!

The Airpal Platform is available in a variety of sizes, surface materials, and shapes for different applications:

- Standard (18, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 39, and 50" width)
