DMI Transfer Board and Slide Board, Heavy-Duty Wood, 440 lb Capacity, 30 x 8 x 1 Inches

This sturdy wood transfer board is essential for caregivers to easily and safely transfer patients from a wheelchair to a bed, chair, car, or commode. The sealed and coated board allows for smooth and easy transfers, helping patients slide across the glossy surface with minimal friction. It also serves as a valuable mobility aid for individuals living independently who require assistance transferring from place to place.

To use the transfer board, position one end on the starting point and the other end on the destination, such as a bed, chair, car, or wheelchair, ensuring that the tapered ends are facing up to facilitate sliding. Keep the board as level as possible and ensure that any wheelchairs are locked in place. Help the person onto the board and assist them as they slide across it in short movements. It is highly recommended to use the DMI Gait Belt in conjunction with this board to aid in moving the person. Ensure that the person is dry to minimize friction during the transfer and consult a trained professional if there are any questions about using the transfer board. Only attempt to use the board if you have received proper training.

The slide board provides easy and safe transfers for moving individuals from a wheelchair, bed, chair, sofa, commode, or any sitting position. It is ideal for individuals with disabilities, those who are wheelchair-bound, the elderly, or those recovering from surgery.
