Hardwood Transfer Board for Easy Patient Transfer

Transfer boards are commonly used to assist patients who are amputees, paraplegic, elderly, disabled, or post-surgery, as well as individuals with conditions such as lower-body paralysis, osteoporosis, arthritis, and back injuries. These boards are designed to help people with physical disabilities or loss of leg function move safely between seated surfaces, acting as a bridge so users can slide from a wheelchair to a bed, sofa, bath, car seat, or commode at their own pace.

The flat, rigid transfer boards are made from deluxe, heavy-duty, sealed wood, and are available in two sizes to support users up to 350 lbs. (159 kgs) and 450 lbs. (204 kgs). These boards are treated with a permanent, non-slip coating that reduces friction and prevents chipping, snagging, or the creation of splinters, ensuring a smooth and comfortable sliding experience for the user.

Transfer boards require less upper-body strength compared to other transfer systems, allowing individuals to use them independently as everyday mobility aids. Clinicians and caregivers can also utilize these boards to assist with safely moving patients in healthcare or home care settings.

The boards come in two sizes, 8" x 24" and 8" x 30", with a thickness ranging from 0.79" to 0.87". Users can choose between boards with one or two oval-shaped, cutout handgrips, or those without any handgrips, depending on their preference. The handgrips offer additional leverage to help stabilize, maneuver, or carry the boards, while the option without handgrips provides a smooth, solid surface.

The permanent coating and tapered ends of the transfer boards ensure a non-slip surface, allowing users to slide comfortably and safely to their next seated position. This design feature, along with the durable construction of the boards, helps to support the independence and mobility of individuals with physical disabilities or limitations.

In summary, FabLife Transfer boards are versatile, lightweight, and made from high-quality materials to provide a safe and comfortable solution for people who require assistance with moving between seated surfaces. These boards can be used independently or with the help of caregivers, and are available in a variety of sizes and styles to meet the diverse needs of users.
