A patient transfer device for transferring a patient placed on a movable sheet from a first surface to a receiving surface, said patient transfer device including first and second laterally spaced apart retractable pulling members, at least one motor operatively connected to the pulling members so as to allow retraction of the pulling members by means of the motor, where the pulling members comprise a bobbin and a wire, where the patient transfer device comprises an absorbent member removably arranged around the wire. Accordingly, the wire may be cleaned in a reliable manner.

Patient transfer device

The present invention provides a method for laser brazing a first member to a second member using a laser brazing head. The laser brazing head has means for generating a first laser beam and a second laser beam. The method comprises the steps of: arranging the first member in contact with the second member such that a junction is formed there-between; providing a filler material in the vicinity of said junction, and passing the laser brazing head along the junction such that the first laser beam melts the filler material to at least partially fill said junction to form a brazed joint. The second laser beam then effects a post heat treatment of the brazed joint.
