The PPS Glide is an innovative, air assisted safe patient handling solution.
Similar to an air hockey table, our technology reduces friction by circulating low pressure, high volume air through thousands of micro perforations. This creates a cushion of air upon which the patient can be effortlessly moved from one surface to another.
Enhanced ergonomics and ease of use significantly reduces the amount of exertion required for patient transfers, and allows for greater patient comfort, increased operational efficiency and a safer workplace for caregivers. Portability, a small storage footprint, and radiology compatibility are all added benefits.
The PPS Glide is the optimal safe patient handling product to meet your patient transfer needs in any patient care venue, especially the ED, OR, ICU, cath lab. Lateral transfer devices like the PPS Glide have been shown to require nearly 90% less exertion than a standard drawsheet.
The PPS Glide allows two caregivers to laterally transfer a patient safely while reducing the potential for back injury. The core of the system is an inflatable mat that lifts and floats the patient on a cushion of air, that with little effort, caregivers can transfer even the very large patients from one surface to another.
