Customer Reviews

Real feedback from healthcare professionals and organizations who trust our solutions every day

“Implementing Pink Slips across our facility has had a measurable impact on both staff safety and patient care. Our teams are able to perform transfers more efficiently and with significantly less physical strain, which directly supports our injury prevention initiatives. From an operational standpoint, the product is cost-effective, easy to deploy, and simple to standardize across units. It’s one of those rare solutions that benefits clinical outcomes, staff satisfaction, and budget management all at once.”
Jennifer – Director of Nursing
“From a wound care perspective, minimizing shear and friction is critical. The Pink Slip has made a significant difference in how we reposition and transfer patients with fragile skin or existing wounds. It allows us to move patients with far less trauma to the skin surface, which helps protect healing tissue and reduces the risk of further breakdown. Our staff appreciates how easy it is to use and how consistently it performs. It has become a standard part of our protocol when handling high-risk patients.”
Sarah – Wound Care Nurse
“Wy’East Pink Slips are a great way to safely transfer patients from one surface to another. They reduce 60% of the force required to transfer a patient. We have Pink Slips available on all medical units, either outside the room with PPE and gloves, or in nurse servers and passthroughs. What our team likes about the Pink Slip is that there is no weight limit, and they can be reused with the same patient repeatedly. The plus side of this device is that it works great, is relatively inexpensive, and readily available.”
Dave – Lift Team

Frequently Asked Questions

Friction-reducing devices are not designed to lift patients, so a traditional weight limit does not apply. Instead, the PINK SLIP reduces the force required to move a patient, helping caregivers perform transfers more efficiently while maintaining proper handling techniques.

The PINK SLIP is a Class 2 recyclable material and can often be placed in standard recycling streams. It may also be disposed of as general waste depending on facility protocols. Always follow local recycling guidelines and facility procedures.

Its tubular design allows the material to glide smoothly against itself during movement. This reduces resistance between the patient and the surface, helping minimize skin shear and improving comfort during transfers and repositioning.

Yes, because it is not a lifting device, the PINK SLIP can be used with bariatric patients. For added comfort and coverage, multiple slip tubes can be overlapped to protect a larger surface area during movement.

The PINK SLIP doesn’t necessarily increase the amount of weight caregivers can move, but it requires less force to move patients. 

We found that PINK SLIP requires 139% less force to move an 85 lb patient, and 245% less force to move a 300 lb patient, compared to using a draw sheet.

A friction-reducing device is designed to minimize resistance and shear during patient movement. These tools are commonly used for lateral transfers, repositioning, boosting, and early mobility activities to improve safety and efficiency.
