Multi-Functional Patient Positioning, Warming, and Lateral Transfer Device for Surgical Safety

A patient positioning, warming, and lateral transfer device, comprising:

• a flexible sheet configured to be placed on a support surface, such as a surgical table or a hospital bed;
• a first and second flexible substrate coupled to the top surface of the sheet, wherein the substrates are padded and capable of wrapping around a patient's arms and/or legs, creating a wrapped engagement to protect, pad, secure, and elevate the arms and/or legs of the patient;
• a temperature-regulating pad incorporated into the device, comprising an air-permeable top layer, a perforated middle layer with air channels, and a bottom layer;
• multiple hook-and-loop fasteners, Velcro straps, and webbing with buckles at various locations to secure the patient to the support surface and stabilize critical medical lines or tubes;
• an inflatable support system integrated within the bottom layers of the device, facilitating patient transfer by reducing friction between the patient and the support surface when inflated;
• and two or more elevated strips positioned longitudinally along the sides of the mattress, wherein the strips are configured to retain escaped air beneath the mattress during inflation.
