ABSTRACT:
A patient handling system is disclosed which includes a novel patient handling sheet and a novel patient lift apparatus and a combination thereof. The patient handling sheet has spaced parallel longitudinal tubes to receive stretcher poles and longitudinally spaced transverse apertures in the tubes to permit either the grasping of the stretcher poles by the hands or by hook means attached to the lifting apparatus or use of the apertures as hand holds without the stretcher poles. The apparatus for lifting stretchers is generally rectangular, is wide enough to straddle the patient's bed, and is hinged at each corner so that it may be folded up and stored away when not in use. A frame locking means is used to prevent its folding when in use. A crane is provided at one corner to do the lifting.
