ABSTRACT:
A patient transfer cradle is made up of a flexible mounting plate which allows cradle wheels mounted to the underside of the plate to maintain contact with the rolling surface, whether it is level or not. A plurality of support rib members are disposed along the length of the mounting plate transversely relative to the long dimension of the plate. The ribs, which are secured to the upper surface of the mounting plate, are slidably engaged by a pair of elongated members which are coextensive with and disposed on either side of the plate. In this manner, the support ribs are capable of longitudinal movement relative to the elongated members permitting the cradle to flex without resistance from the elongated members.
