ABSTRACT:
A disposable transport mat includes inner and outer panels which are joined to one another forming a tubular or loop shaped structure. Both panels are made of materials such as Tyvek®. The panels may be assembled to one another as by sewing or gluing. Padding may be provided as a layer between the inner and outer panels. A thin film may be applied to the outer panel to increase frictional engagement with a patient thereby assisting in uniform rolling motion of the transport mat during use. A cover may be used in conjunction with the transport mat to provide additional options in transporting or lifting a patient. The cover may incorporate a plurality of webbing strips with integral grasping loops. A thin film may also be applied to the cover to enhance frictional engagement for uniform rolling motion.
