Embodiment Construction

[0073] figure 1A patient transfer device 10 of the present disclosure is shown. The patient transfer device 10 can be used to transfer an infant patient from one location to another while minimizing physical contact between the clinician and the patient while providing firm support to the patient during movement.

[0074] Such as figure 1 As shown, the patient transfer device 10 includes a central section 12 , a first side section 14 and a second side section 16 . exist figure 1 In the embodiment shown in , the patient transfer device includes an inner liner 18 and an outer liner 20 each forming part of a central side section. Although the inner liner 18 and the outer liner 20 are in figure 1 are shown as separate components, but it should be understood that the inner liner 18 and outer liner 20 may be combined into a single layer that forms the central section 12 and the first side section 14 and the second side section 16 . exist figure 1 In the embodiment shown in , t...

Abstract

The invention relates to a patient transfer device which is utilized to transport infant patients between locations within a hospital environment. The patient transfer device includes a center support section and a pair of side sections that can be moved into contact with each other to surround the infant patient. The first and second side sections each include a handle that can be brought into close proximity to each other and can be grasped by a single hand of a clinician. The patient transfer device includes a stiffening device that is positioned within the center section to provide support for the infant patient during transport. A hold down device is included on one or both of the first and second side sections to securely hold tubes and wires connected to the infant patient during transport of the infant patient.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure generally relates to devices for moving infant patients. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to infant transfer devices (slings) that can be used to support an infant patient during movement while providing minimal patient irritation and required patient support. Background technique [0002] Currently, the standard procedure for a nurse or other attending physician to transfer an infant patient from an incubator or bed is to carefully slide a hand (or hands) under the infant patient and manually lift the patient. When a nurse makes physical contact with an infant patient, the patient is often irritated which, in high risk patients, can introduce unwanted stress to the infant patient. Additionally, when a nurse lifts an infant patient, there is an increased risk of the nurse obstructing one or more of the multiple lines (IV, EKG catheter, ET tube, etc.) connected to the patient. The possibility of obstructing or d...
