HoverMatt® Air Transfer System
Air-assisted lateral patient transfer system designed to reduce caregiver injury risk and improve patient transfers from beds and stretchers.
Key Features and Benefits
-
Air-Assisted Lateral Transfer Technology – creates a cushion of air beneath the patient to significantly reduce friction during transfers.
-
Reduces Caregiver Lifting Force – allows staff to move patients laterally with minimal physical strain.
-
Reusable and Durable Construction – designed for repeated clinical use in high-volume environments.
-
Smooth, Easy-to-Clean Surface Materials – supports hospital infection control standards.
-
Facilitates Bed-to-Bed and Bed-to-Stretcher Transfers – streamlines workflow in emergency, surgical, and imaging departments.
Product Overview
The HoverMatt® Air Transfer System is designed to assist healthcare teams in performing safe, efficient lateral patient transfers. By using air-assisted technology, the system reduces friction between the patient and transfer surface, allowing caregivers to move patients with significantly less effort.
Unlike vertical lift devices, the HoverMatt® is specifically engineered for horizontal transfers between beds, stretchers, operating tables, and imaging surfaces. When inflated, the mattress creates an air cushion that enables smooth movement with minimal force, helping reduce musculoskeletal injury risk among healthcare staff.
Available in reusable configurations and multiple size options, the HoverMatt® supports safe patient handling programs across hospitals, surgical centres, and long-term care facilities. The system integrates with compatible air supply units and is designed to withstand routine cleaning protocols.
