The Transfer Sheet is designed to be fitted to the Etac Immedia 4WayGlide LPL Patient Adjustment Mattress and together they form a comprehensive and safe transfer system.

How Do the Non-Slip Features Work?
The Etac Immedia 4WayGlide features a removable, reusable, outer layer that can be restored as pleased.
