Low Friction Transfer Surface
A continuous loop of PADDED fabric designed to significantly reduce the force required to reposition patients.
Fabric is made to glide easily in all directions.
The outer is water resistant polyester. The inside is specially treated low friction polyester and the stuffing is hollow polyester fibre.

What research literature says about transfer assist devices:

The use of friction–reducing transfer devices significantly reduces the forces required for transferring patients between surfaces compared with using a draw sheet.
The products available vary in their effectiveness at reducing forces and awkward postures.
The use of transfer devices in combination requires less force than when using only one device.
Patients report a greater feeling of comfort and security before, during, and after transfers.
Caregivers report lower perceived exertion to shoulders, upper back, low back, and body when using friction–reducing devices to handle patients.
