Abstract:
The embodiments herein provide a patient transfer system for transferring a patient form one surface to another with a single attendant/caretaker. The system comprises a main base with wheels, a column actuator for height adjustment and a patient resting surface. The patient resting surface comprises two surfaces made of a mattress and a sheet. During transfer of patient from one surface to another, the system is attached/locked to a firm surface like floor, wall or ceiling using mechanical attachment devices for providing stability. The sheet when pulled lengthwise is transformed into an almost hard surface. A frame with sheet carrying patient is moved horizontally or vertically for transferring the patient. The sheet is made out of radiolucent material to avoid any effects due to radiations during X-ray, CT scans, MRI etc. The system is also convertible into a wheelchair using actuators when needed.

Claim (Index 1):
A patient transfer system, the system comprising:\n a main base comprising of a plurality of caster wheels, and wherein the plurality of caster wheels is configured to move the patient transfer system in a desired direction; one or more mechanical attachment devices, and wherein the one or more mechanical or magnetic attachment devices are configured for locking the patient transfer system to one or more firm surfaces to provide stability during patient transfer, and wherein the one or more firm surfaces comprises a floor, a wall and a ceiling an added device on the other surface;\n a column actuator attached on top of the main base, and wherein the column actuator is configured for moving vertically to adjust a height of the system to a level required for transferring a patient from one surface to another; and \n a patient resting surface attached on top of the column actuator, and wherein the patient resting surface comprises a bottom surface and a top surface, and wherein the bottom surface of the patient resting surface comprises a mattress and wherein the top surface comprises a sheet mounted onto a frame, and wherein the sheet is configured for transforming into a hard surface by stretching in lengthwise to lift a weight of the patient during patient transfer, and wherein the frame is configured for moving in a horizontal direction and in a vertical direction to transfer the patient from one surface to another.
