Hercules Patient Repositioner is a breakthrough in safe patient handling technology. With Hercules, one caregiver can safely boost a patient in bed within seconds. The patient lies on a sheet pulled by an easy-to-use drive, moving the patient up in bed with the simple push of a button. This process preserves the patient’s dignity—and protects the caregiver’s back.
Hercules is easy to use--even for busy nurses. Just hold down two buttons on the drive unit, and the sheet boosts patient in 10 seconds or less. Release the buttons, and the sheet adjusts to eliminate tension.

A special 16-foot disposable sheet boosts the patient 8-10 times before being reset. The sheet is soft, lint-free, and breathable—a drier alternative to traditional cotton-blend sheets. Clips help the sheet slide along the support surface with the patient, reducing or eliminating friction and shear.
Being pulled up in bed can be uncomfortable, unsafe and embarrassing for patients. With Hercules, one caregiver can easily handle repositioning while protecting the patient’s dignity, comfort and risk of injury.
To further defend against HAPIs, Agiliti offers Air Hercules Patient Repositioner, featuring low air loss pulsation therapy. Pulsation gently aides in the increase of capillary blood flow to the skin, while continuous low air loss keeps skin cool and dry.
