Comfort Glide® Lateral Transfer
New Lateral Transfer System Empowers Caregivers New year. New decade. New system to improve caregiver and patient well-being. Medline’s new Comfort Glide® Lateral Transfer Inflatable Transfer System empowers caregivers to safely and easily transfer patients from one lateral surface to the next by raising the patient in one smooth motion on a cushion of air.
Since there’s zero lifting required, caregivers can work without the worry of extra back strain or injury. In fact, the Comfort Glide® Lateral Transfer Inflatable Transfer System reduces effort by 75% compared to standard care practices. 1 It can also help caregivers move far more than what they’d be able to move on their own. More than one-third of back injuries among nurses have been associated with the handling or moving of patients. 2 This product can significantly ease the physical burden placed on nurses, so that they can be happier and more efficient at their jobs. It’s a safer, easier way to move a patient. The Comfort Glide® Lateral Transfer Inflatable Transfer System contains a fully breathable sheet that remains under the patient at all times. The sheet quickly inflates and provides full-body support and off-center cradling for a comfortable transfer.

fast inflation time means less waiting for caregivers
While the perimeter and extended handles allow several caregivers to assist with the move, only two caregivers are needed to complete a patient transfer. This frees up a caregiver’s time to serve elsewhere, while improving hospital efficiencies.
By reducing effort and boosting support, the new Comfort Glide® Lateral Transfer Inflatable Transfer System helps caregivers #powerup to provide the best care possible.
