BridgeAir is an air-assisted lateral transfer and repositioning mattress available in both Single Patient Use and Reusable models. It offers a significant reduction in the forces required to laterally transfer and reposition patients to contribute to reducing caregiver injury. At the same time, it creates a safe and comfortable transfer solution for your patients.  BridgeAir was designed to provide the best solution in air-assisted transfers while recognizing the importance of simple user-friendly features.

Single Patient Use

The BridgeAir single patient use mattress is designed for the duration of the patient’s length of stay. Some disposables are not durable enough to last during the entire stay due to a variety of factors. The BridgeAir changes all that with a rugged design that holds up in the toughest environments. The mattress can be wiped down clean for even longer use, following your facility recommended infection control disinfectant guidelines. These factors save you time and money, while providing a confidence in product durability and user compliance.

Mattress Design

BridgeAir uses the same material you find in a state of the art, low air-loss mattress for its top layer. This further reduces pressure and increases breathability by removing an unnecessary top layer you see in many other air transfer mattresses. Our mattress is designed to be compatible with most manufacturer air-blowers to allow for seamless mattress replacement and its unique design provides additional benefits to both patients and caregivers.

The AirPal works by releasing low-pressure air through perforated chambers in the TransferPad. The TransferPad is placed under a patient in the same manner as changing a bed sheet. A lightweight portable UL approved AIR SUPPLY is then attached to, and inflates, the TransferPad.

AirPal has the broadest line of TransferPad sizes and patient surface materials!

Reusable PVR TransferPads N&L Series: The AirPal Reusable TransferPad is a superior product and offers exceptional value through an extended service life. Specialty engineered fabrics for clinical environments are used on patient surfaces (N-Series offers 4-Way-Flex fabric ideal for skin concerns, L-Series offers Hi-Fluid Conductive fabric ideal for the O.R.). All seams on AirPal Reusable TransferPads are double stitched (not heat sealed) and all attachment points are reinforced. As a result, the AirPal Reusable TransferPad has a 5 year warranty –  the BEST warranty in the industry!
