The purpose of the HT-Wedge is to pneumatically lift and position the head and chest of a patient who is lying in the supine position without manual lifting.

The HT-Wedge is an inflatable wedge with square headrest and two intake appendages, one for the head and one for the chest. An inflation/deflation valve is found in each appendage. There is also a tongue attached to the wedge that lies under the patient's buttocks. The inflatable portion of the product is 22" wide and 31 1/4" long. There are four attachment straps, two located on each side of the wedge in order for it to be secured to the OR table. The tongue adds an additional 20" in length. The wedge is constructed of polyurethane coated nylon with 2 one-way, inflation/deflation valves.

The HoverJack™ lifts a patient in a supine position, from the floor to the approximate height of a bed for a subsequent lateral patient transfer.

The HoverJack™ is made of four connected nylon air chambers, each measuring 32" x 70". When inflated, each chamber is 7" high. Each chamber has a dump valve for safety purposes. Each of these chambers has an air entry valve through which an external air supply is used to inflate the chamber against the floor is to be inflated first, then the other three chambers are inflated, in an upward succession, until the device is fully inflated. When fully inflated, the HoverJack™ feels hard and substantially supports the patient atop it, also providing a surface upon which emergency patient procedures can be performed, if necessary. Also in an emergency, dump valves are available to use for quick deflation. The HoverJack™ is constructed using 200 denier Nylon Oxford. Seams are RF welded (heat-sealed) to limit infection control issues. The bottom of the HoverJack™ has strips of a non-skid material attached for safety purposes. Fill-valves are self-sealing AND have caps that also screw on for additional closure. The HoverJack™ has two patient safety straps to buckle over the patient. The HoverJack™ does require the use of the Air Supply that is available as a separate unit. The Air Supply is CSA approved, meeting UL Standard #544. This Air Supply is also used to inflate other equipment such as the HoverMatt® which is an optional accessory to the HoverJack™.
