Airpal disposable transfer mattress

The AirPal® patient transfer system harnesses air’s invisible force to lighten the load of care – using a controlled airflow to help you reposition patients safely, comfortably and efficiently.

AirPal supports the patient on a soft cushion of air – an almost cradling sensation created as air flows through the underside of the transfer mattress, gently lifting the patient away from the bed surface.

- Safely
Air Assisted Lateral Transfer devices significantly reduce both biomechanical demands and injury risk.¹

- Comfortably
Cushioning the patient on a bed of air, AirPal can help keep discomfort to a minimum. Demonstrated to significantly reduce physical demands on caregivers, AirPal ranks the most preferred air-assisted device in terms of both comfort and performance.²

- Efficiently
In most cases AirPal requires only two caregivers to safely transfer a patient. And, because AirPal can be left under the patient, this saves time if another transfer is necessary.

- Disposable for single patient use
Reduce the risk of infection and lower the laundry burden.
The AirPal disposable transfer mattress reduces the risk of cross contamination and can easily be disposed of if soiled, damaged or suspected of being contaminated. It does not need to be sent away for laundry; so there’s no need to worry about lost or damaged products.
