Abstract: A patient transfer device for moving a patient from a first surface to a receiving surface includes a retractable pulling wire, a motorized pulling arrangement, and a holder arrangement for holding a sheet or mattress. The holder arrangement has a holder element attached to a first end of the pulling wire. The pulling arrangement retracts the wire, moving the holder arrangement and holder element holding a sheet or mattress towards the pulling arrangement, thereby transferring the patient. A proximity sensor detects if the holder element reaches an end position near the pulling arrangement.

Abstract: A patient transfer device is used transferring a patient placed on a sheet or mattress from a first surface to a receiving surface. The device can include at least one retractable pulling wire; a pulling arrangement comprising a motor operatively connected to a rotatable wire bobbin so as to allow retraction of the pulling wire by operating the motor and rotating the wire bobbin and thereby winding up the pulling wire around the wire bobbin; and a holder arrangement configured to hold the sheet/mattress when moving the sheet/mattress and thereby transferring the patient placed thereon. The holder arrangement can include a holder element to which the pulling wire is attached.

Abstract: A patient transfer device for transferring a patient placed on a movable sheet from a first surface to a receiving surface, said patient transfer device including first and second laterally spaced apart retractable pulling members, at least one motor operatively connected to the pulling members so as to allow retraction of the pulling members by means of the motor, where the pulling members comprise a bobbin and a wire, where the patient transfer device comprises an insert removably arranged around the wire and/or in a pad of the transfer device. Accordingly, the wire may be cleaned in a reliable manner.
