HoverMatt SPU Lateral Transfer Matt

This SPU version of the HoverTech HoverMatt® eliminates costs and logistics associated with reprocessing and greatly reduces risk of cross-contamination.

By eliminating injuries related to lateral transfers and repositioning, the Single-Patient Use HoverMatt can help improve staff retention while meeting legislative guidelines for safe patient handling. Although a single use device, this HoverMatt SPU is capable of being used multiple times with the one patient during their stay in hospital.

The HoverMatt® Air Transfer System is used to assist caregivers with patient transfers, positioning, turning and proning. The HoverTech Air Supply inflates the HoverMatt to cushion and cradle the patient, while air simultaneously escapes from the holes on the underside, reducing the force needed to move the patient by 80-90%¹.
