Airpal launderable 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.

- Launderable for multiple reuse
The AirPal launderable transfer mattress is made of a durable nylon fabric. It can be wipe cleaned or laundered at 70°C (158°F) making it a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to disposable mattresses because of the longer product life cycle.
