Patient Transfer Slide Boards

Safe and Efficient Patient Transfer Slide Boards

Moving from a wheelchair to a car or bed shouldn't be a struggle. Our Patient Transfer Slide Boards are specialised mobility aids designed to bridge the gap, making transfers seamless for both users and carers. These high-strength boards belong in every Patient Handling toolkit to reduce strain and improve independence.

Why Use a Transfer Slide Board?

Whether you are navigating home care or professional medical environments, the right equipment makes all the difference. These boards provide a smooth, low-friction surface that allows a user to "glide" between seated surfaces without the need for heavy lifting.

Key Features of Our Sliding Boards

  • High-Weight Capacity: Reinforced materials suitable for bariatric and standard use.
  • Anti-Slip Pads: Integrated grip on the underside to ensure the board stays secure during the move.
  • Ergonomic Hand Grips: Easy to carry and position, even for those with limited hand strength.
  • Tapered Edges: Bevelled ends allow for easy insertion under the thigh.

Choosing the Right Shape for Your Needs

Not every transfer is a straight line. We stock a variety of designs to suit different Australian home layouts. Straight boards are perfect for bedside transfers, while curved or "banana" boards are ideal for navigating around wheelchair armrests or car doors.
