Using the Hospital Direct Bridging Board

Manually transferring a patient between two surfaces can be challenging, which is why Hospital Direct has created a Bridging Board to support healthcare professionals with this daily necessity. Designed to effectively bridge a gap between two surfaces, the Hospital Direct Transfer Board helps to make the procedure of transferring a patient from one surface to another easier and safer.

Is the Bridging Board Easy to Use?

Lateral transfers pose a risk of injury to both the patient and the caregiver because the forces needed to complete the transfer are high. The Eezi-Transfer Board facilitates appropriate patient handling to reduce the risk of common musculoskeletal injuries to the caregiver associated with this procedure, including damage to muscles, ligaments, tendons, bursae and joints. Using the Hospital Direct Transfer Board also reduces the risk for patient injuries including falls, fractures, bruises and skin tears.

• Seated patient transfers
