The Evacuation HoverJack allows caregivers to perform safe and efficient stairwell evacuations while keeping the patient in a supine position. Adjustable air chambers inflate to provide a stable and comfortable surface for patients, while easily navigating doorways and narrow spaces. In case of evacuation Evacuation HoverJack is inflated to bed or stretcher height so that the patient can be laterally transferred onto it. The safety straps and foot-end pouch hold the patient securely, while the Teflon-coated bottom allows for easy transport to the nearest stairwell. The top two chambers are deflated for the descent so that the caregivers can slide the patient to safety. HoverMatt Air Transfer System is multifunctional and makes patient transfers, boosting and repositioning easier, while taking care of the carers working environment. The device can be used for both stairwell evacuations and for vertical lifts. The safety straps and foot-end pouch hold the patient securely during stairwell evacuation. A cushion of air beneath the inflated HoverMatt reduces the force required to move a patient by 80-90% and enables caregivers to safely transfer patients without lifting or straining. By reducing injuries related to lateral transfers and repositioning, the HoverMatt helps to improve staff retention while meeting legislative guidelines for safe patient handling. The tapered head end makes it easier to manoeuvre when evacuating around corners and down stairwells. To facilitate the patient's breathing and comfort, the positioning can be adjusted through the inflatable wedge at the head end.
