Safe and Dignified Transport for Bariatric Patients The R&B Fabrications Bariatric Transfer Sheet (Model 181YL, often called "The Big Roger") is engineered to solve the complex challenge of lifting and moving heavy patients in difficult environments. Unlike standard soft stretchers, this unit features a specialized webbing design that pools the patient's weight in the center, allowing multiple providers to share the load evenly without the device "taco-ing" or pinching the patient. Key Features Impervious Fluid Barrier: Constructed from two layers of 14 oz. nylon-reinforced vinyl, ensuring the sheet does not absorb blood, pathogens, or other body fluids, making decontamination simple. Centralized Weight Distribution: Heavy-duty webbing straps cross through the center of the device to support the patient’s core mass, offering a rated load capacity of 700 lbs. Multi-Provider Lifting: Equipped with 10 heavy-duty handholds (5 per side), enabling a large team to lift simultaneously for safer ergonomics. Rugged Reinforcement: All webbing endpoints are "Box-X" stitched and bound for maximum tensile strength and durability under load. Why It Matters Bariatric calls require specialized tools to prevent injury to both the patient and the responders. Standard sheets can rip or absorb fluids, creating safety and biohazard risks. This vinyl sheet provides a rigid-feel secure carry that wipes clean instantly, ensuring your unit is ready for the next call immediately. How to Use Position: Log-roll the patient onto the center of the yellow sheet. Grip: Have responders distribute themselves around the 10 handholds. Lift: On command, lift using legs, allowing the webbing matrix to cup the patient safely. Transport: Move to the stretcher or stair chair. Clean: Wipe down with standard disinfectant after use. Technical Overview Weighing just 5 lbs (80 oz), this sheet folds compactly into its included storage bag. The high-visibility yellow color ensures the edges are easily seen in low-light rescue scenarios. It is sized at 60" x 80" to accommodate larger patients comfortably.
