A medical transfer pad and a production process thereof including a transfer pad body, at least two square pockets arranged symmetrically up and down are disposed on a middle portion of the rear portion of the transfer pad body, and at least two tensile fabric webbing handles symmetrically spaced up and down are disposed on a rear portion of the transfer pad body. The transfer pad body includes a polymer nano-level columnar elastomer anti-skid layer, a first waterproof fiber cloth layer, a first waterproof fiber cloth layer, and a high-strength tear-resistant nylon webbing layer that are placed neatly from top to bottom and are stitched and reinforced by high-strength nylon thread. An upper surface of the first waterproof fiber cloth layer is sprayed with the polymer nano-level columnar elastomer anti-skid layer.

A patient transport shield provides for a flexible support sheet supporting a patient with upstanding ribs holding a transparent cover over the patient to provide a patient volume that may hold negative pressure when the transparent cover is attached to the support sheet by a resealable pressure-sensitive attachment strip allowing rapid assembly and ready access to the patient.

An assembly and a method for covering a Hoyer Lift sling. The sling assembly includes a cover positioned over a top side of a Hoyer lift sling. The cover has a hole therethrough which is positioned over the hole of the sling. A retaining sheet is attached to the cover and also has a hole therethrough which is positioned in alignment with the hole of the sling. In addition, a pad having a corresponding hole therethrough is preferably positioned between the sling and the cover. At least a portion of the retaining sheet is received through the hole of the pad and through the hole of the sling so that this portion of the retaining sheet is positioned beneath the bottom side of the sling. The cover on top of the sling and the portion of the retaining sheet beneath the sling each extend beyond the width of the sling and have outer edge portions which are attached together so that the sling and the pad are thereby retained between the cover and the retaining sheet.

An inflatable device for turning or positioning a person in a bed. The inflatable device includes an inflatable body formed by a top sheet and a bottom sheet disposed beneath the top sheet to define a cavity configured to be inflated such that the top sheet forms a top wall of the cavity and the bottom sheet forms a bottom wall of the cavity. The device further includes at least one port having a port opening in fluid communication with the cavity and configured to provide an air input for air for inflating the cavity, wherein the at least one port comprises an elastic member for adjusting a size of the port opening.

A rescue device for moving a subject includes a brace member for securing the arms and the torso of the subject together. The brace member includes a central section, a first lateral section and a second lateral section, and a fastener. The brace member is capable of forming a loop for securing the arms and the torso of the subject together by fastening the first lateral section to the second lateral section with the fastener. A ribbon member pair for moving and/or stabilizing a subject wearing the brace member when said rescue device is in use includes a first ribbon member having a first portion connected to the brace member and a second ribbon member having a second portion connected to the brace member.

A pad of vibration-reducing foam is interposed between a spineboard and a litter that are secured together by straps. The pad has a pad upper surface contoured to receive and substantially mate with a spineboard lower surface to block horizontal motion therebetween, and a pad lower surface with a substantially planar support region. The pad can be formed of more than one layer of foam, with each layer having different vibration-damping characteristics. Material costs can be reduced by employing a discontinuous pad formed by a pad head segment and a pad foot segment. When a full-length pad is employed, separate straps for engaging the spineboard and the litter can be provided, with the pad interposed between the straps to prevent transmission of vibrations through the straps. The pad can be configured to offset the spineboard on the litter and allow a portable ICU to be placed alongside the spineboard.

An apparatus, system and kit for transporting a non-ambulatory person comprising: a sheet assembly for enclosing the non-ambulatory person. The sheet assembly having a generally rectangular shape with sides and ends, a base layer, an upper layer, one or more straps; and a plurality of rigid plates disposed between said base and upper layers functioning to protect the non-ambulatory person being transported by a rescuer(s) from impacts, as these may occur in carrying, dragging, or otherwise moving from one location to another. A kit be configured with a satchel with quantities of sheet assemblies, which also can be varied in different sizes, and placed in the satchel, a drag harness, securing straps, and additional trauma supplies as may be required in a rescue operation.
