Abstract
A system for transferring a body from a first surface to a second surface, or supporting a body during such translation with substantially no agitation of the body, is provided. A pad configured for use on a plurality of patient support surfaces, e.g., with the transfer system, can comprise a main portion dimensioned to substantially cover a first support surface, a supplemental portion configured to combine with the main portion to substantially cover a second support surface dimensioned larger than the first support surface, and at least one living hinge coupling the main portion to the supplemental portion and configured to adapt the pad for use between the first support surface and second support surface.
