Abstract
A pad is used in shifting a patient from one bed, or other horizontal surface, to another. The pad is formed of a sealed, elongated, and flattened enclosure of a flexible, puncture-resistant material and contains, sealed within the enclosure, a lubricant to reduce the friction between the inside surfaces of the enclosure.
