The EvacPAD is a padded evacuation mat designed for the emergency evacuation of bedbound / immobile patients from premises where space is limited. The design allows non-ambulant adults and children to be moved safely when congested wards, narrow corridors or single width fire escapes mean they cannot be evacuated on a bed or mattress. A durable plastic base allows the EvacPAD to slide easily over most internal floor surfaces and is robust enough to move patients over external surfaces to a safe distance. Its construction also allows for vertical evacuation up and down stairs when lifts cannot be accessed.
