Inflatable patient transfer sliding mattress, reprocessed

An inflatable patient transfer sliding mattress is designed to assist healthcare providers in safely moving patients—such as those who are hospitalized, disabled, or elderly—between beds or surfaces. By inflating to create a smooth, low-friction surface, it helps reduce strain on staff while enabling controlled sliding transfers without lifting the patient.

These devices are typically classified as single-use but may be reprocessed for a second use under specific conditions. They are commonly supplied as part of a transfer system, requiring an external pump for inflation, and are regulated based on their risk profile for patient handling and infection control.
