DMI Transfer Board and Slide Board, Heavy-Duty Wood, Patient Senior Handicap Assist, Holds 440lbs, 30x8x1

The sturdy wood transfer board is an essential tool for caregivers to easily and safely transfer patients from a wheelchair to a bed, chair, car, or commode. This sealed and coated board allows for easy transfers by helping the patient slide across the glossy surface. It is also valuable as a mobility aid for individuals living independently who need assistance moving from place to place.

To use the transfer board, position one end on the starting point and the other end on the destination where you want to transfer the individual, such as a bed, chair, car, or wheelchair. Make sure the tapered ends are facing up to assist with sliding onto the board. Keep the board as level as possible and secure any wheelchairs in place. Help the person onto the board and assist them as they slide across it in short movements. It is recommended to use the DMI Gait Belt in conjunction with the board for added assistance. Ensure the person is dry to avoid any friction during the transfer and always seek advice from a trained professional if needed.

The slide board provides easy, safe, and secure transfers for moving individuals from various positions, including wheelchairs, beds, chairs, sofas, commodes, or any sitting position. It is ideal for those who are disabled, wheelchair-bound, elderly, or recovering from surgery. The sliding board features cutout handles that offer extra leverage with a safe and secure grip. Each handle has been rounded, sanded, and sealed for comfort.

Constructed from thick, sanded, and sealed Scotch Pine wood, these transfer boards ensure frictionless transfers. The durable boards have tapered ends and a smooth surface coating to prevent cracks, chips, or snagged clothing. The overall dimensions of the board are 30 x 8 x 1 inches, with a weight capacity of 440 pounds. Additionally, the board is FSA eligible for purchase.
