ABSTRACT:
An improved patient transfer sheet device includes a thin first sheet, having a low coefficient of friction for contacting inner surfaces thereof and substantially higher coefficients of friction for other surfaces contacting the first sheet, and a thin second sheet, fixedly connected to the first sheet. The device has a plurality of corner cuffs for releasably securing the device to a first supporting structure. A perforation, medially spaced lengthwise of a patient lying on the device, penetrates the first and second sheets such that the device can be divided and removed from under the patient without rolling or lifting the patient. A first modified transfer device provides a thin band having additional lengthwise perforations such that the device can be placed such that a patient can be transferred sidewise in a pre-selected direction and, subsequently, be transferred in the reverse direction. A second modified transfer device provides a thin sheet in an accordion-fold configuration such that the patient can be selectively transferred to either side after being placed on the device. A third modified transfer device provides a thin sheet in an accordion-fold configuration such that the patient can be transferred to either side and, subsequently, be transferred again to either side.
