Abstract: A device for transferring a person from one surface, such as an ambulance cot, to a second surface, such as a hospital bed. The device is a sheet that fits the elongate transferor surface, upon which the person rests initially, in a contour sheet manner. A plurality of straps are anchored to the sheet and may be stored in longitudinally extending pouches at the sides of the sheet. The pouches are made of a fabric netting material, one end of which is stitched to the sheet. The pouches are opened and closed using strips of hook and loop fastening material, one strip attached to the other end of the netting material, and the mating strip attached to the sheet. The straps are long enough to pull over the sheet, the person lying on it, and a transferee surface positioned side-by-side with the transferor surface, so that the straps may be gripped by an attendant at a side of said transferee surface.
