Lateral Transfer Slide

Product details

The Lateral Transfer Slide gives a low-friction surface to help move a person sideways between patient surfaces without lifting. The board’s smooth surface is gentle against the skin, while the non-slip base helps keep the slide in place during use. Around the perimeter are ergonomically positioned handles so carers can grip and steady the board from several positions.

Insertion and removal are made easier by the tapered edges, which pass under the body with minimal effort. The slide is designed for transfers between beds, trolleys, treatment couches and tables, and it works alongside a glide sheet to reduce friction further. It weighs 5.2 kg and measures 1900 mm long by 650 mm wide, offering a generous surface for lateral transfers.

Built to cope with heavier users, the slide has a safe working load of 190 kg, which should be checked before use in every situation. The board’s size and weight make it simple to position and store when not in use. For best results use with a suitable glide sheet to assist smooth movement and reduce effort for the carer.
