Transfer Board and Slide Board, Holds 440 Pounds, Heavy-Duty Wood, 2 Cut Out Handles, 30 x 8 x 1 Inches

This durable wood transfer board is designed to assist in transferring individuals from a wheelchair to various destinations such as a bed, chair, car, or commode. The sealed and coated board allows for easy transfers by enabling the patient to slide smoothly across the glossy surface.

Not only is this board helpful in medical settings, but it is also a valuable mobility aid for individuals who live independently and require assistance when moving from one place to another. To use the transfer board effectively, position one end of the board at the starting point and the other end at the desired destination. Make sure the tapered ends are facing up to facilitate a smooth transfer onto the board. It is important to keep the board as level as possible and to secure any wheelchairs in place before assisting the individual onto the board.

For added support, we recommend using the DMI Gait Belt in conjunction with the transfer board to assist in moving the individual safely. It is crucial to ensure that the individual is dry to prevent any friction during the transfer process. If there are any questions or concerns about using a transfer board, it is always best to consult a trained professional before attempting to use it.
