Simple Hardwood Transfer Board for Easy Patient Movement

Transfer boards are versatile mobility aids used by individuals with physical disabilities or loss of leg function to safely move between seated surfaces. These flat, rigid boards serve as a bridge, allowing users to slide from a wheelchair to a bed, sofa, bath, car seat, or commode at their own pace. Also known as sliding boards, transfer boards are commonly used to assist patients who are amputees, paraplegic, elderly, disabled, or recovering from surgery.

These boards are particularly beneficial for individuals with conditions such as lower-body paralysis, osteoporosis, arthritis, and back injuries, as they require less upper-body strength compared to other transfer systems. Transfer boards enable users to maintain their independence and use them as everyday mobility aids. Clinicians and caregivers can also utilize these boards to safely assist patients in healthcare or home care settings.

Crafted with superior materials, the transfer boards are made from deluxe, heavy-duty, sealed wood and are available in two sizes to accommodate users up to 350 lbs. (159 kgs) and 450 lbs. (204 kgs). The boards are treated with a permanent, non-slip coating, ensuring a smooth and comfortable sliding surface for the user. This coating reduces friction, prevents chipping, snagging, or the creation of splinters, and allows for easy cleanup.

To enhance user comfort and safety, the boards feature tapered ends, providing a seamless transition between surfaces. Additionally, the transfer boards are offered with various handgrip options. Users can choose between models with one or two oval-shaped, cutout handles or opt for a smooth, solid surface without any handgrips. The handgrips offer additional leverage for stabilizing, maneuvering, or carrying the boards.

Versatility is a key feature of these transfer boards, as they are available in two sizes, 8" x 24" and 8" x 30", with a thickness ranging from 0.79" to 0.87". This range of sizes and styles allows users to select the best-suited option for their individual needs and preferences.

In summary, FabLife Transfer boards are designed to support the independence and mobility of individuals with physical challenges. Crafted from high-quality materials and featuring a variety of customizable options, these boards provide a safe and comfortable solution for moving between seated surfaces, enabling users to maintain their autonomy and quality of life.
