Patient lateral transfer devices are used for moving a patient from one flat surface to another surface, such as from bed to a stretcher. Types of hospital transfer include bed to a wheelchair, bed to stretcher, wheelchair to chair, wheelchair to toilet, and vice versa. The patient lateral transfer involves moving a patient with the least stress on a caregiver, which increases the comfort level for both patient and caregiver. Moreover, patient lateral transfer devices help efficiently move the patient, as these devices improve the postures while moving a partially or completely dependent patient. With technological advancement, top market players have started developing automated devices that can transfer patients without any manual assistance by a caregiver.
According to the United States Census Bureau, there were 40.3 Million U.S residents aged 65 years and above in 2010, and the number reached 54.1 Million in July 2019. Such factors are expected to drive the patient lateral transfer devices market growth.
Market Dynamics
Growing incidence of musculoskeletal disorders such as low back pain, tendonitis, and others is expected to boost the global patient lateral transfer devices market. Further, high risk of injuries to caregivers during manual patient shifting will have a positive impact on the global patient lateral transfer devices market.
For instance, in April 2020, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated that the rate of hospitalization has increased globally due to the COVID-19. This, in turn, is expected to increase the demand for patient lateral transfer devices.
