Medesign Curved Transfer Board

Transfer Boards promote patient independence and reduce the carer's workload by enabling a patient to transfer/slide themselves from one level surface to another e.g. from bed to wheelchair or wheelchair to commode. They are versatile, cost effective items and can help to improve self esteem in dependent patients by making it easier for them to move themselves. MEDesign's transfer boards are made from the highest quality, lacquered, 15mm Birch plywood. All edges are smooth and the tapered ends allow the boards to be easily placed underneath the patient. In many cases, but always subject to suitable assessment, patients can use the transfer board to move themselves. When a carers help is required, using a transfer board can help to reduce the risk to their back. To increase patient confidence, the transfer boards can be used in combination with the MEDesign Patient Handling Sling or Support Belts. The curved shape is of special benefit in restricted or confined spaces and also for angled transfers when furniture cannot be moved to accomodate a straight board.
