See full text

A patient transfer apparatus includes an air bearing attached beneath an inflatable cushion which has peripheral chambers so that the peripheral portions fill before the central portions. A diverter valve enables the apparatus to tap into the pressurized air supply provided by a fluidized bed. A tri-fold patient transfer board has a pair of parallel spaced apart ribs extending in the longitudinal direction near the center line of each tri-fold section.
