The blue things...? What the hell is the name?

[Chief1C]

Now I'm looking for a specific item, not a suggested item.

They're blue, thin, smooth and you use them to transfer a patient from one bed to the other.

I tried numerous terms, of what I thought they would be called, given their purpose.

I have failed to locate them.

Does anyone know.. what the hell the blue devices for transfering patients is called?

Their industry name, so that I can locate it in a supply catalog.

Are any of these what you are looking for? Patient transfer Sheets.

Or this? http://www.alibaba.com/showroom/patient-transfer-sheets.html

Slider boards or transfer sheets.

Stryker has a really slick setup that is like having a hovercraft under the pt. It's a polymer sheet .

They're blue, plastic or vinyl, roll up, shaped like a back board, but prolly 3' wide

Here's a blue transfer roller board

We've got them at our hospital, I'll look next time I'm there for a model. Could this be it?

Nope.. I'm thinking that the reason I cannot find what I'm picturing, is because they're no longer being produced. But I can't think of anything else that would work.
