Using the Hospital Direct Curved Transfer Board

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

Can Patients Transfer Themselves Using the Board?

Yes, the board can be used by the patients themselves for transferring between two surfaces e.g. bed to chair, chair to commode or wheelchair to car.

Please Note: For patients using the board themselves for transferring, strength in the arms is required.

Is the HD Patient Transfer Board Safe 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.

Please Note: For patients using the board themselves for transferring, strength in the arms is required.

Ideal for a range of environments and situations, the Hospital Direct Curved Transfer Board is particularly useful for scenarios that require side-by-side patient sitting transfers, including:

• Chair to wheelchair transfers
