Follow on Google News | New Transfer PAL Reduces Risk of Back Injury for EMS StaffThe new Transfer PAL was designed to help EMS staff decrease back injuries during patient transfers.
By: iTec Mfg, LLC “Healthcare workers now rank #1 in being at risk for musculoskeletal injuries at work,” according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2004. The Transfer PAL has a closed-cell foam padding for patient comfort and easy clean-up. A Kleen Kover, a disposable fitted sheet is available. The hard outer shell allows PAL to slide easily against all types of material. The handles enable staff to utilize a trapeze grip that allows for proper body mechanics. “We’ve given staff the ability to greatly reduce strain when transferring, that’s why we believe this unique device to be superior to a sheet,” said Michael Wilson, designer and owner. The design of the Transfer PAL eliminates the problem of patients rolling backwards on the sheet. Two sizes are available – regular and bariatric. Today, iTec Mfg has been manufacturing the Multi-Grip Head Immobilizer since 1989. They also manufacture the Tank Boss portable oxygen cylinder lift. More information can be found at their website www.itecmfg.com or call 800-892-5562. # # # iTec Mfg manufactures EMS products, designed by rescuers for rescuers.
