Indications

The ComfortGlide® Air Sheet is intended to aid in the performance of patient repositioning and lateral transfers for patients under 1,000lb. The ComfortGlide® Air Sheet should remain with the patient throughout their hospital stay so it is ready to assist with facility safe patient handling policies.
