Transfer Board for Patient, Senior and Handicap, Heavy-Duty Wood, FSA Eligible

This sturdy wood transfer board is an essential tool for caregivers, enabling them to easily and safely transfer patients from a wheelchair to a bed, chair, car, or commode. The sealed and coated board allows for easy transfers, as the patient can slide across the glossy surface with minimal friction. It is also valuable as a mobility aid for those who are living independently and need assistance transferring from place to place.

To use the transfer board, position one end of the board at the starting point and the other end at the destination, such as the bed, chair, car, or wheelchair. The tapered ends should be facing up to help the person slide onto the board. Keep the board as level as possible and ensure that any wheelchairs are locked in place. Once the person is on the board, assist them as they slide across it in short movements. It is highly recommended to use the DMI Gait Belt in conjunction with the board to assist in moving the person, and ensure that they are dry to avoid friction during the transfer. Always consult a trained professional if there are any questions about using a transfer board, and only attempt to use it if you have been properly trained.
