Apparatus including a substantially pliable underlayment (2450, 2500, 2520, 2540, 2560, 2600, 2630, 2640), connecting member (1552, 2480), and means to exert a force to transfer or reposition a patient is provided. The substantially pliable underlayment includes a substantially smooth mantle (2452, 2502, 2522, 2562, 2602, 2642), an attaching structure (2456, 2506, 2526, 2546, 2566, 2604) operably adjacent the mantle, and a reinforcing structure (2454, 2504, 2524, 2544, 2564) for imparting resistance to mantle distortion during transfer or repositioning. The attaching structure includes a reinforced beaded edge (2604, 2644) and an attaching structure (2648) cooperating with the mantle to form a pocket (2459) accommodating a transfer bar (2470). The reinforcing structure includes stitching (2508, 2510) disposed generally diagonally in the mantle and reinforcing fibers present in the material of the mantle. A method of using the pliable underlayment to transfer or reposition a patient is also provided.
L'invention concerne un dispositif comprenant un support presque entièrement pliable, un élément de connexion et des moyens permettant d'exercer une force permettant de transférer ou de repositionner un patient. Ce support pliable comprend une garniture sensiblement lisse, une structure d'attache opérationnellement adjacente à la garniture, une structure d'armature permettant à la garniture de résister à la distorsion pendant le transfert ou le repositionnement. La structure de fixation comprend un bourrelet de bordure renforcé et une structure de fixation coopérant avec la garniture pour former une poche entourant une barre de transfert. La structure d'armature comprend des coutures pratiquées sensiblement en diagonale sur la garniture et des fibres de renforcement incluses dans le matériau formant la garniture. L'invention concerne également un procédé consistant à utiliser ce support pliable pour transférer ou repositionner un patient.
