Abstract
A patient transfer device includes an inflatable pad and a flap attached to the inflatable pad. The flap engages a patient such that the flap is worn by the patient. The flap may be attached to a front end of the pad and include a pair of spaced notches for receiving the legs of a patient. The flap may be further attached along side edges to a top sheet of the pad such that the transfer device is worn by the patient as a pair of shorts. Alternatively, the flap may be attached to a back end of the pad and include an upper portion having a pair of spaced openings for receipt of the arms of a patient. The flap may further include a pair of opposite side panels for encircling the torso of a patient as a vest.
