Transfer Board Heavy Duty

The Transfer Board Heavy Duty is an essential mobility aid for caregivers to transfer patients from a wheelchair, bed, chair, sofa, commode or any sitting position safely, and without injury to themselves. It is the ideal mobility accessory for disabled, wheelchair-bound, elderly or individuals post-surgery. The transfer board features tapered ends sanded and sealed with a smooth surface coating to prevent cracks, chips, or snagged clothing.

Tips for a successful transfer

If your healthcare provider advises using a transfer board, always use it with a gait or belt during transfers.
Keep it within easy reach.
Never substitute another object if the transfer board is not nearby.
Move slowly and carefully. Pay close attention to your movements and the location of your body parts as you transfer across the board.
Transfer between surfaces of similar height or transfer to a slightly lower surface. This aids in reducing strain on you and your caregiver.
Protect your skin. Keep your skin from getting pinched or rubbed during the transfer by not dragging your buttocks on the transfer. Always wear clothing or use a transfer sheet during transfers.
Keep your body parts in the correct position with your feet flat on the floor throughout most types of transfers.
Stop as needed as you move across the board and reposition your legs and feet. Do this with one leg at a time, keeping each foot aligned with your knee.
To prevent stress on your wrist or overstretching your hand while moving, try making your hands into fists.
Support your body weight on the flat surface between the knuckles.
When transferring, never put your hands or fingers under the board.
Wear any orthopaedic devices you have while transferring.
Always wear sturdy shoes when possible.
If you have decreased strength or sensation in your upper body, work with a caregiver to help you transfer.
As you grow more comfortable using a transfer board, you may learn to use the transfer board without a caregiver.
