Patient transfers in a hospital pose accidents to both patients and medical staff. Nurses and caregivers are at a high risk for musculoskeletal injuries while patients can sustain skin injuries, develop pressure ulcers, or incur falls during inappropriate transfers.
The Air Assisted Transfer Mattress facilitates in addressing these issues. The innovative mattress minimises the transfer friction of 80-90% by producing a jet of flowing air underneath the patient, thus making the transfer process more seamless for both caregivers and patients.
The Leading Causes of Hospital Injuries
Hospital caregivers routinely experience workplace injuries, especially while attending to patients, which is one of the major causes. Research suggests that:
- More than half of healthcare employees admit to suffering from musculoskeletal injuries owing to chronic lifting and patient caring.
- Lower back pain has been universally reported by about 40% of nurses.
- Falls, bruising, and skin lacerations owing to poor patient handling are common among elderly or non-ambulant patients.
A conservative approach to lifting manually, which often requires 3 – 4 caregivers, results in strain, fatigue, and long term injury.

These and other issues are effectively tackled by The Air-Assisted Transfer Mattress by providing less risk and difficulty while transferring patients.
1. Reducing Caregiver Injuries
- The caregiver has to expend physical and mental energy far less while utilising this technique, as patient sliding can be done with 80%-90% less work due to friction minimisation provided by airflow.
- Caregiver mental and physical strain is reduced significantly, thus the possibility of chronic musculoskeletal disease such as back, shoulder, and wrist strain is lessened as well.
- Efficiency improves as caregiver’s time spent providing care to patients increases, thus increasing efficiency for the hospital system as whole.
2. Protecting Patients from Skin Damage
- Traditional methods of transfer pose a risk of skin injury due to dragging or pulling which leads to skin irritation, bruises, or even pressure ulcers.
- An air layer that limits the possible friction and shearing forces such as those produced by “hose” transfers is provided by the Senyang Air-Assisted Transfer Mattress. This allows for better support of the patient, thus preventing the risk of getting these injuries.
- Mattress usage is effective for patients who have undergone surgical procedures, elderly patients, and those with thin and sensitive skin.
3. Improving Transfer Efficiency
- Use of a manual approach usually requires 3 to 4 staff members while the Air Transfer Mattress use only requires 1 to 2 caregivers.
- Movement efficiency is guaranteed by the fast mattress inflation and deflation system, ensuring that the process is running smoothly.
- Reduced strain from caregivers translates to patients being more well-focused on the actual care they deliver to the patients, thus improving the quality of patient care delivered.
4. Enhancing Patient Comfort
- Comfort for bedridden patients or patients suffering from chronic pain is increased as the floating effect caused by the air cushion minimises pressure points.
- Minimising discomfort during transfers of patients reduces their anxiety, leading to smoother cooperation during repositioning or transport.
