Product Overview
Fast, Safe Horizontal Patient Evacuation
The EVAC Patient Transfer Sheet is a finished aid for patient evacuation that helps trained personnel secure and move bedridden or mobility-impaired patients during an emergency evacuation. It is designed to be placed between the mattress and the bed and kept ready for use at all times.
During evacuation, integrated straps secure the patient in place, while reinforced handles and straps allow trained personnel to move them in a controlled way toward the designated safe area. Woven from a heavy-duty Oxford fabric (internally referenced as the Kodro weave) reinforced with PES handles and straps, the sheet is built for repeated hard use.
It can be sprayed and wiped down with hospital-grade disinfectant, or machine washed at temperatures up to 90°C, and is compatible with steam sterilization (autoclave) under validated conditions. Suited to hospitals, nursing homes, clinics and emergency-response environments.

EVAC Sheet in Use
Evacuation Method
Turn, Slide, Pull — Feet First
Rapid single- or multi-person evacuation
The Evac Sheet stays folded between the mattress and the bed base at all times, ready for immediate use. In an urgent evacuation, one rescuer can move the patient to safety using the foot-end handle alone.
✓Grasp the handle at the foot of the bed and turn the mattress 90°
✓Slide the patient down onto the floor and pull toward the gathering point
✓Always pull feet-first, both on the floor and down stairs, to minimize injury risk

Independent Load Test — Report 121-2026
Verified to Double the Rated Load
An independent load-capacity test held the sheet under a static test load for 10 minutes with no fabric damage, no seam damage, no handle or strap damage, no permanent deformation, and a passed function check — confirming the sheet’s rated Safe Working Load with a 2× safety margin.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum weight the EVAC sheet supports?
The EVAC Patient Transfer Sheet has a rated Safe Working Load of 250 kg. An independent load test confirmed it withstands a static test load of 500 kg for 10 minutes with no fabric, seam, or handle damage — a 2x safety margin over the rated load.
Can the sheet be used for vertical lifting?
No. The sheet is designed and tested only for horizontal transfer or repositioning — it must never be used for suspension by crane, hoist or pulley.
How is the sheet cleaned and disinfected between patients?
It’s machine washable up to 90°C, or can be sprayed and wiped with a hospital-grade disinfectant (alcohol- or quaternary-ammonium-based) between patients. Air dry or tumble dry at max 40°C, and it’s compatible with steam sterilization (autoclave) under validated conditions.
How many people are needed to use it safely?
Typically 2-6 trained personnel, depending on the patient’s weight and condition, using all handles evenly to distribute the load. In an urgent evacuation, a single rescuer can pull the patient to safety using the foot-end handle.
How long can the sheet be stored and used?
If stored properly – cool, dry, away from direct sunlight, between 0C and +45C – the sheet can be used for at least 15 years provided it has not been deployed in an actual rescue situation. Regular function checks are recommended.
