HoverTech International, a manufacturer of lateral patient air transfer systems, has introduced new Model HTAIR 1200 Air Supply to be used in conjunction with the HoverMatt Air Transfer System for safe patient handling.

HoverTech said that the new Model HTAIR 1200 is a single unit that can cover all applications and is designed to replace both the Models AIR200G and AIR400G air supplies and is UL Classified to conform to Standard 60601-1.

The HoverMatt Air Transfer System has been used to assist caregivers in the lateral transfer and repositioning of patients anywhere in the hospital.

The system is available in multiple styles and sizes to accommodate any patient weight, and is ideally suited for the transfer of bariatric patients.

HoverTech offers a choice of two continuous air flow rates based on the size of the transfer mattress being used and in addition, it offers four adjustable air flow rate/pressure settings, which allows for easier, more controlled inflation of smaller positioning devices.

HoverTech president and CEO Dave Davis said that this variable air control feature has never before been available on patient transfer system air supplies and it is just another user-friendly advancement in a long line of innovations that continue to set HoverTech apart from the competition.
