Description
Slide On Over Transfer Board is a solid hardwood transfer plank designed to assist patient movement between seating surfaces. The board measures 8 x 30 inches, with ends tapered to 1/8 inch and a smooth finish to reduce friction during sliding transfers. The rounded corners minimize snagging when guiding the patient across the surface. The board supports a static weight capacity of 300 pounds.
Material and construction: hardwood construction provides a rigid, durable surface compatible with standard wheelchairs, beds, chairs, and commodes. Uses include shifting a patient from a bed to a chair, repositioning in a chair, or bridging gaps between seating surfaces. The design emphasizes straight-line transfers and a stable, low-profile surface for caregivers to work with.
Usage notes: ensure surfaces are dry and free of debris; place the board on a firm, level surface and align with the transfer direction; use patient assistance and proper body mechanics to reduce risk of injury.
