Moving between surfaces can be one of the most challenging aspects of daily care for seniors, patients, and individuals with mobility limitations. That's why the DMI Transfer Board was designed to make these transfers safer, smoother, and more dignified for everyone involved.
Crafted from heavy-duty wood with a sealed, glossy coating, this transfer board provides the perfect balance of strength and smoothness. It boasts an impressive 440-pound weight capacity, making it suitable for most individuals needing assistance. The board's 30-inch length gives you plenty of room to maneuver, while the 8-inch width provides stability during transfers.
What makes this transfer board truly special are the thoughtful details that make practical sense. The two strategically placed cut-out handles allow for easy gripping and positioning - perfect when you need to adjust the board's placement. The tapered ends help guide the person smoothly onto the surface, reducing friction and making the transfer more comfortable.
Using the transfer board is straightforward: position one end on the starting surface and the other on the destination, keeping it as level as possible. The glossy surface allows the person to slide across with minimal assistance. For added safety, we recommend using the DMI Gait Belt in conjunction with this board and ensuring all wheelchair wheels are locked before beginning any transfer.
Whether you're caring for a loved one at home, assisting in a healthcare facility, or supporting independent living for seniors, this transfer board adapts to various situations. It's especially valuable for transfers between wheelchairs and beds, chairs, cars, or commodes - making it an essential tool for maintaining mobility and independence.
Remember to keep the person dry during transfers to prevent friction, and always consult with trained professionals if you have questions about proper usage. With the right technique and this reliable transfer board, you can make daily transfers safer and more comfortable for everyone.
