RecoverCare's Air Pod is a disposable single patient use lateral air transfer system. This newly-released disposable transfer system pushes air through the silicon coated base fabric of the perforated mattress. The product creates an air cushion that greatly reduces the amount of force necessary in lateral patient transfer. As a result, the risk of caregiver injury and workers compensation claims is greatly reduced, according to the firm.
