Safe, Smart, Simple: Why the Single Use Swift Transfer Device Is the Ideal Choice

In today’s fast-paced healthcare environments, every decision must balance patient safety, staff efficiency, and infection control compliance. That’s why hospitals are increasingly turning to single-use products—especially for patient handling and transfer procedures.

At the heart of this shift is our Single Patient Use (SPU) Swift transfer device, diligently designed in collaboration with manual handling clinicians to meet the real-world demands of hospital care. The most cost effective solution on the market, the single use Swift is used to transfer patients from a lifting devise or bed to another bed or trolley in a hospital environment.

Designed with Clinicians, for Clinicians

From the very beginning, we involved frontline healthcare professionals in the development of the SPU Swift Transfer Device. Manual handling experts provided critical input to ensure the device performs seamlessly in everyday hospital settings.

Key design features include:

Ergonomic Strap Placement: The positioning and functionality of straps were refined through direct clinician feedback, ensuring ease of use and reduced physical strain on staff.

Tested Pull Forces: To ensure optimal safety and usability, academic institutions conducted rigorous testing of pull forces. The results confirmed that the device supports safe, efficient patient transfers—without compromising staff comfort or control. Ensuring optimum pull forces also plays a part in reducing the impact of MSDs on healthcare workers and the associated sickness costs.

Why Single-Use Makes Sense

Beyond smart design, the SPU Swift Transfer Device aligns with a growing trend in hospitals: the preference for single-use solutions. Here’s why:

Infection Control

Single-use devices are discarded after each use, significantly reducing the risk of cross-contamination and supporting hospitals’ infection prevention goals.

Consistent Quality

Each unit is manufactured to the same high standard, eliminating the variability that can occur after frequent use with worn or damaged reusable equipment.

Convenience and Efficiency

There’s no need for time-consuming cleaning or sterilisation. Devices are ready to use right out of the package, freeing up valuable time for patient care.

Lower Maintenance Costs

Single-use means no repairs and maintenance costs.

Infection Control Compliance

Many hospital policies and healthcare regulations favour disposable devices to maintain hygiene standards and reduce liability risks.

A Smarter Solution for Patient Transfers

While environmental considerations are important, so is ensuring the health and safety of patients and healthcare workers. The SPU Swift transfer device offers a well-balanced solution—combining clinician-informed design, academic testing, and all the advantages of disposable use.

If you’re looking for a transfer device that ticks every box—safe, efficient, compliant, and easy to use—then the SPU Swift is the way forward.
