DMI Transfer Board and Slide Board for Patients, Holds up to 440 Lbs, Heavy-Duty Wood

The sturdy wood transfer board is designed to help individuals move from a wheelchair to a bed, chair, car, or commode. With its sealed and coated surface, the board allows for easy and smooth transfers, enabling the patient to slide across the glossy surface effortlessly. This board is also valuable as a mobility aid for those living independently and requiring assistance with transferring from one place to another.

To use the transfer board, position one end of the board on the starting point and the other end on the destination, such as a bed, chair, car, or wheelchair. The tapered ends should be facing upward to facilitate the person's sliding onto the board. Ensure that the board is as level as possible and that any wheelchairs are securely locked in place. Assist the person onto the board and then guide them as they slide across it in short movements. The use of the DMI Gait Belt in conjunction with the board is highly recommended to aid in the transfer process. It is crucial to ensure that the person is dry to minimize friction during the transfer.

Always consult a trained professional if you have any questions or concerns about using the transfer board. Only attempt to use the board if you have been properly trained, as it is an essential tool for caregivers to safely and easily transfer patients, allowing them to move with independence while protecting the caregivers from injury.
