HoverTech has been helping hospital staff for over 20 years to transfer and reposition patients in a healthy way to reduce work-related injuries. Since 2019, HoverTech has been part of Etac and strengthened the wide range of products within patient handling.
 
The HoverMatt air-assisted transfer system includes a range of multifunctional products that make patient transfers, boosting and repositioning easier — at the same time, improving the caregiver's work-related health by reducing injuries related to lateral movements and repositioning.
 
An air cushion under the inflated HoverMatt reduces the force required to move a patient by 80-90%. This enables caregivers to move patients without lifting or straining safely and reduces injuries related to lateral movements and repositioning.
