Patent ID: 8813277

Claim:
A single surface system useful for continuous support, transfer and treatment of an individual throughout a plurality of medical environments and procedures comprising: a primary single surface having a longitudinal axis and a lateral axis, said primary single surface having a first surface to frame interface positioned at one end of said longitudinal axis and a second, opposing surface to frame interface positioned at a second end of said longitudinal axis; a single surface transport and transfer frame having a first frame to surface interface at a first end, said first end adapted for reversible engagement with said first single surface to frame interface of said primary single surface, and a second frame to surface interface at a second end, said second end adapted for reversible engagement with said second single surface to frame interface of said primary single surface, each said frame to surface interface movably coupled to said frame, whereby each said frame to surface interface moves in a linear manner about said single surface transport and transfer frame parallel to said lateral axis; whereby engagement of said single surface-to-frame interfaces with said frame to surface interfaces results in positioning of said primary single surface upon said frame with respect to both the longitudinal and lateral axes of said primary single surface.
