The device typically includes a patient-transfer mechanism (e.g., mechanical, hydraulic) easy to operate by an attendant with minimal physical effort. It is used in hospitals and other healthcare facilities to reduce injuries to both patients and staff while transferring non-ambulatory, comatose, or neurologically-injured patients between beds, tables, and/or stretchers.)
