Systems and methods for repositioning a patient

A method of repositioning a patient, comprising:

• providing a transfer sheet with a first end portion coupled to a first roller and a second end portion coupled to a second roller, wherein the transfer sheet has a fold defining a top layer between the fold and the first end portion and a bottom layer between the fold and the second end portion, and wherein the first roller is vertically spaced apart from the second roller;
• rotating the second roller such that the bottom layer slides beneath the top layer in a direction away from the second roller;
• rotating the first roller such that the top layer slides over the bottom layer in a direction towards the first roller;
• and
• rotating a spool coupled to an insertion member such that the insertion member is inserted between the top layer and the bottom layer.

An assembly for repositioning a patient, the assembly comprising:

• a housing;
• a cartridge removably coupled to the housing, wherein the cartridge includes a first roller rotatably mounted along a first axis and a second roller rotatably mounted along a second axis parallel to the first axis;
• a first detent disposed on an interior surface of the first roller;
• a second detent disposed on an interior surface of the second roller;
• a transfer sheet including a first end portion coupled to the first roller and a second end portion coupled to the second roller, wherein the transfer sheet has a fold defining a top layer between the fold and the first end portion and a bottom layer between the fold and the second end portion;
• a first actuating roller coupled to the first roller;
• a second actuating roller coupled to the second roller;
• a first slot disposed on the first actuating roller, wherein the first detent is mated with the first slot;
• and
• a second slot disposed on the second actuating roller, wherein the second detent is mated with the second slot.
