Unlike plastic or resin moulded transfer boards we are proud that MEDesign’s transfer boards are made in the UK from an environmentally friendly, sustainable and most importantly renewable resource. The curved shape is of special benefit in restricted or confined spaces and also for angled transfers when furniture cannot be moved to accommodate a straight board. Transfer boards promote patient independence and reduce the carer’s workload by enabling a patient to transfer/slide themself from one level surface to another e.g. from bed to wheelchair or wheelchair to commode or wheelchair to car. They are versatile, cost effective items which can help to improve self-esteem in dependent patients by making it easier for them to move themselves without the aid of a carer. Manufactured 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. When a carer’s assistance is required, using a transfer board can help to reduce the risk to their back. For increased patient confidence the transfer board can be used in combination with a Patient Support Belt Specification: Length: 72cm (28¼”)Width: 25cm (10”)Weight: 1.8kg (4lb)Maximum User Weight: 190kg (30st)
