Abstract

Apparatus including a substantially pliable underlayment (2450, 2500, 2520, 2540, 2560, 2600, 2630, 2640), connecting member (1552, 2480), and means to exert a force to transfer or reposition a patient is provided. The substantially pliable underlayment includes a substantially smooth mantle (2452, 2502, 2522, 2562, 2602, 2642), an attaching structure (2456, 2506, 2526, 2546, 2566, 2604) operably adjacent the mantle, and a reinforcing structure (2454, 2504, 2524, 2544, 2564) for imparting resistance to mantle distortion during transfer or repositioning. The attaching structure includes a reinforced beaded edge (2604, 2644) and an attaching structure (2648) cooperating with the mantle to form a pocket (2459) accommodating a transfer bar (2470). The reinforcing structure includes stitching (2508, 2510) disposed generally diagonally in the mantle and reinforcing fibers present in the material of the mantle. A method of using the pliable underlayment to transfer or reposition a patient is also provided.
