The following is a brief and basic guide to the different types of transfer boards that are available to help people move from different positions, such as from a wheelchair to a bath, bed or chair. However, please note that every individual's needs are different and safe moving and handling practices are to be adhered to to reduce risks and ensure everyone's safety.
Customers should base their purchasing decisions on the user's particular needs and preferences and, where appropriate, upon advice from medical and care professionals.
A transfer board is a sturdy support that is used to form a kind of temporary bridge between two surfaces - enabling people with restricted movement in their legs to slide safely and smoothly from one position to another. Typically, this might be from a wheelchair to a chair, bed, bath or toilet.
Transfer boards come in a variety of different shapes and designs.
