The present specification discloses a sleeping surface assembly (1) and a patient transfer device (10) useful for transferring patients from one support to another. The sleeping surface assembly (1) comprises first and second unitary flexible sections (2, 8), the first section (2) having head and foot portions (3, 4) having a depth greater than the central portion (5) thereof. The second section (8) is constructed of a material which permits gas flow therethrough and liquid flow downward from the upper surface thereof and fits into the area above the central portion (5) of the first section (2) to form a sleeping surface having a uniform depth. The patient transfer device (10) comprises a rectangular plastic centre section (11) having a plurality of apertures (12) therein rendering the centre section (11) stretchable in at least one direction and having a low-friction lower surface. At least one laterally extending section (14) is movably attached to one of the longer sides of the centre section (11) and is capable of movement relative to the centre section (11). Means (16) for gripping the transfer device (10) to impart motion thereto are provided on said laterally extending sections (14). <IMAGE> |
