ABSTRACT:
The invention described is a device and method for repositioning a patient in a bed. Bedding material positioned underneath the patient is wound by a ratchet system and a crossbeam that allows for the patient to be repositioned when the bedding material is drawn around the crossbeam. The patient is moved without physical contact or being lifted by patient caregivers. In one embodiment, the device allows for the patient to be repositioned by a single operator caregiver. In another embodiment, the device can be quickly removed from the patient's bed.
