Why The TTP?

Why the TTP?

Problems with Current Emergency Transfer Devices

Uncomfortable & Risk of Further Injury

Patients are manually handled many times
Risk of further injury
Discomfort as a result of:
Reduced body temperature
Increased risk of pressure sores

Infection Risk

Re-use of emergency transfer devices
Cross infection risk from ineffective cleaning

Inefficient for Medics

Several patient transfers – stretchers, trolleys, imaging surfaces and beds
Staff downtime whilst device is decontaminated
Multiple devices requiring space and storage
