Designed to help with patient transfer and turning
We understand the importance of early mobility. To achieve your mobility protocols and comply with guidelines, you need a readily available solution that stays under your patients and fits seamlessly into your workflow. That’s why we combined our innovative air assist technology with lift compatibility to promote safety and mobility.
- Intuitive strap system enables multiple lifting positions (supine, reclined and upright)
- 30° Body and Anchor Wedge System offloads the sacrum, minimizes patient migration down the bed, and reduces the need for boosting
- Sage M² Microclimate Body Pad effectively absorbs and locks in moisture to protect patient’s skin while allowing air to flow through
- Inflatable glide sheet with hi-tech fabric promotes a healthy microclimate for the skin and is compatible with low air loss technology
- Integrated head support ensures patient’s head maintains neutral position while inflated
- Point of care power switch is connected to the Sage Prevalon Air Pump and integrated into the workflow to improve efficiency
- Easy roll handles encourage proper posture for healthcare worker
- Quick connect valve provides an easy, secure connection and a quick release

We’re committed to actively partnering with your facility to reduce the risk of patient handling injuries and improving outcomes. Our Journey to Zero program can help create a culture of safety that benefits your patients, nurses, and your organization. Let’s start the journey to zero – together.
FAQs
The weight capacity of AirTAP LC is 600 pounds.
Based on clinician feedback, Stryker intentionally designed a non-full-length glide sheet to allow room for boosting with air-assisted technology, reduce bunching and support the head and neck during vertical transfers.
The AirTAP LC glide sheet is breathable, low air loss and imaging compatible. It is designed to remain underneath the patient while they are in the facility.
The wedges can be inserted while the glide sheet is fully inflated and should be positioned approximately one hand-width above and below the sacrum.
AirTAP LC is compatible with hook (also referred to as “loop”) style lifts and complies with ISO 10535, the standard testing method for patient lifting devices.
