Extra product information

This transfer board is placed between transfer surfaces and provides a smooth surface to assist user transfer between wheelchair and chair, chair and chair etc.

Transfer board has rounded corners and is angled on one side to allow the board to fit around the wheel of self propelling wheelchairs.

Available with our without grip tape on the base of the board.

Method of Use

1) Position wheelchair at 90 degrees to other surface (bed, chair, car)
2) If possible have surfaces at same height
3) Remove arm of wheelchair if possible, (if not, having the chair at less of an angle to other surface will help to get around the arm of wheel of chair. Some models of transfer boards have a cut out to go over the wheel.)
4) Ensure brakes are applied
5) Firmly place end of board under leading thigh, (enough so that the board doesn't slip away when full weight is transferred to board) and the other end securely onto opposing surface making sure the width, at both ends of the board are fully supported, to prevent tipping. (Preferably, boards should be place equally on both surfaces).
6) Slide across board. Transferring is made easier if the client can help as much as possible by using lead arm to push down on board and other arm to push off from chair this also helps to stabilize the board.
7) Once transfer is complete board can be removed.
