Transfer Board (Slide Board)
A transfer board, also known as a slide board, is a smooth and sturdy support board used to assist patients in moving safely from one surface to another, such as from a bed to a wheelchair, wheelchair to a chair, or into a car seat. The board creates a stable bridge between surfaces, allowing the patient to slide across with minimal lifting. It reduces physical strain on both the patient and caregiver and is commonly used for individuals with limited mobility, paralysis, or neurological conditions affecting movement.
