Abstract
A patient repositioning apparatus doubles as a repositioning sheet and a sling. The repositioning apparatus includes a sheet with an upper surface and an opposing lower surface and defines an outer periphery that has opposing side edges. The upper surface of the sheet has an upper surface material, and the lower surface of the sheet has a lower surface material that is formed from a relatively low-friction material as compared to the upper surface material. The handles are disposed along the opposing side edges of the sheet, and the strap members are attached to the sheet and distributed across both opposing side edges. Each of the strap members includes a strap portion that forms a bight in the strap member.
