Safe Patient Transfer in PACU Facilities
Fully Automated Patient Lateral Transfer, Supine to Sitting & Boosting for PACU Environments
make it simpull
Patient transfers are a critical part of care in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU), where patients often emerge from surgery groggy, disoriented, or unconscious/immobile. Transferring patients safely from stretchers to recovery beds, monitoring equipment, or wheelchairs requires precision and care to avoid disrupting surgical sites or causing discomfort during the immediate recovery period. In these high-risk moments, when patients can’t assist or respond, SimPull offers even greater value by supporting safe, smooth transfers without compromising patient stability.
The SimPull enables zero-lift, zero-force patient transfers, helping PACU staff move patients efficiently and safely without risking strain or injury. It supports a smooth, dignified recovery experience for patients while protecting care teams during one of the most physically demanding phases of post-surgical care.
46% of nursing injury cases were from overexertion according the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics.
Proactively reduce the chance of PACU staff injury
Even proper lifting techniques don’t prevent all injuries, and manual lifting, pushing and pulling can lead to repetitive motion injuries. The SimPull is fully automated and does all the heavy lifting.

Multi-function patient movement
SimPull is just one piece of equipment in a PACU facility, but it can be leveraged for lateral patient transfers, supine-to-sitting adjustments, patient boosting, and precise positioning for tasks such as post-operative monitoring, wound assessment, or facilitating safe handoffs to inpatient units. Its versatility enhances patient comfort and dignity while reducing strain on staff, making it an extremely valuable, multi-functional piece of equipment.
