Transfer Devices

Essential patient-handling aids designed to safely and ergonomically move individuals with limited mobility between surfaces—such as beds, chairs, commodes, and examination tables—while minimizing risk of injury to both the patient and the caregiver. This category includes slide boards, transfer belts, standing and pivot assist aids, mechanical and ceiling-mounted lift systems, and stretcher chairs. These devices promote patient dignity, reduce manual lifting strain on healthcare staff, and help prevent falls and skin shear during transfers. Ideal for hospitals, long-term care facilities, rehabilitation centers, and home care environments.

Gait Belt

$1.00
 A Gait Belt (or Transfer Belt) is a simple but vital safety device made of strong, adjustable webbing that is secured around a patient's waist. It provides healthcare workers and caregivers with a secure handhold to safely assist with patient transfers, walking, and balance during rehabilitation. Its primary purposes are to prevent patient falls and reduce caregiver injury by enabling proper body mechanics during lifting and mobility tasks. Correct application over clothing, regular inspection for wear, and proper cleaning are essential for its safe and effective use in hospitals, clinics, and home care settings.

Patient Turnover Cushion

$1.00
A Patient Turnover Cushion is a low-friction, ergonomic device designed to assist caregivers in safely turning, repositioning, and transferring patients with limited mobility, reducing manual handling injuries while enabling regular position changes for pressure ulcer prevention. The wedge-shaped or cylindrical roll design provides mechanical advantage, allowing caregivers to slide rather than lift the patient, reducing biomechanical load on the back, shoulders, and wrists. The low-friction cover minimizes shear forces on patient skin during repositioning, protecting fragile skin from injury. Integrated handles provide secure grip points for controlled, coordinated movement. For the nurse and patient care technician, the turnover cushion supports safe patient handling protocols, reducing occupational injury risk while improving patient repositioning efficiency. For the patient with limited mobility due to stroke, spinal cord injury, frailty, or post-operative status, the turnover cushion enables regular repositioning that prevents pressure ulcers, facilitates respiratory management, and supports dignified, comfortable care. Used in hospitals, nursing homes, critical care units, and home healthcare, the patient turnover cushion is an essential tool for pressure ulcer prevention and caregiver safety.

Transfer Chair

$1.00
 A Transfer Chair is a simple, armless mobile chair on four swivel casters designed specifically for safe, lateral seated patient transfers. Its core function is to allow caregivers to move patients who cannot stand between surfaces like beds, wheelchairs, toilets, and cars with minimal lifting, thereby preventing caregiver injuries and patient falls. Key features include a low, armless seat for unobstructed sliding, locking casters for stability, and a compact, maneuverable design. It is a fundamental piece of equipment in any safe patient handling program.
