This handy unit will fit easily under a mattress, and has been constructed with eight outlets to allow easy use with an alternating air pressure relief mattress.

In the case of an emergency, the sheet enables you to turn an entire mattress into an evacuation-sledge unit for easy transport of those with impaired mobility, for example during a fire. To ensure maximum safety for those being transported, there are straps to secure them to the mattress. There is also an elongated foot-pocket with webbing to help hold user's feet in place.
