39-inche-wide inflatable air transfer mattress packages contain 34-Inch-wide mattresses, so there may be a decreased surface area available to distribute the patient's weight across, which may increase the effort exerted by staff for a lateral patient transfer, and there may be increased friction and shearing forces when the patient is moved resulting in skin tear injury.
