ABSTRACT:
A device for moving a patient in a bed is disclosed and includes a base and movable platform mounted in superimposed relation to the base. The base provides a horizontally extending, substantially smooth and uninterrupted path over the top surface of the bed and bed linens. The platform is mounted to the base for low friction guided movement thereover, preferably by means of a track and rollers. The combined base and platform are preferably relatively thin in cross-section and formed with sloping edges so that the patient can be rolled onto the platform and moved by means of the platform by a single attendant. The movable platform is also preferably sloped to resist slipping of the patient and enhance movement of the platform over the base.
