PHOENIX, AZ, UNITED STATES, June 26, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Patient Company has been awarded a national group purchasing agreement for Patient Lateral Transfer Devices with Premier, Inc. Effective 5/14/2025, the new agreement allows Premier members, at their discretion, to take advantage of special pricing and terms pre-negotiated by Premier for The SimPull^® Patient Transfer Device. The SimPull was awarded Technology Breakthrough Designation with Premier, Inc. Premier offers Breakthrough Technology designations to innovations that offer a major advantage in terms of patient safety, clinical outcomes and operational efficiencies.

“From the start, it’s always been about prioritizing staff and patient safety,” said Andrew Heuerman, CEO of The Patient Company. “Our team is deeply committed to supporting both patient outcomes and staff well-being with our fully automated patient transfer device, the SimPull. Being awarded a Technology Breakthrough Designation by Premier, Inc. is an incredible honor and a testament to the impact our technology is making across the healthcare industry.”

The SimPull is the first fully automated patient transfer device, engineered to eliminate the physical strain of patient lifting, reduce injury risk, improve workflow efficiency, and significantly cut down on disposable waste.

The SimPull works by attaching to the sheet that the patient is lying on and completing a fully automated, device-powered transfer that requires only two staff members. The 25-second transfer time is consistent and regulated, simultaneously prioritizing patient dignity, peace of mind, and safety. The SimPull has undergone both a pilot study at Sparrow Specialty Hospital and a study at Corewell Health, and has successfully been delivered to healthcare facilities across the U.S.
