  • NOVEL AIR BEARING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR TRANSFERRING PATIENTS
    Publication number: 20190091087
    Abstract: The present invention provides a low friction device for transferring patients from one surface to another. This system allows a patient to be immobilized on one supporting surface. The immobilized patient can then be transferred laterally onto the target modality using an air bearing that is thin, homogeneously radiolucent and compatible with a variety of diagnostic imaging and treatment modalities.
