AcralMed Patient Slider Boards
Every medical facility performs lateral patient transfers on a daily basis. There are many types of devices used to perform these transfers including patient slider boards, patient roller boards and our unique EZ-Tranz Gold Transfer Board. Lateral patient transfers occur for a variety of reasons including:
- Elderly patients that find it difficult to walk or move about
- Patients with disabilities that impair their movement
- Patients that are under anesthetic a or unconscious
The patient slider board provides a simple, dependable transfer solution. Each board is constructed from durable 3/16-inch thick high-density polyethylene. Smooth surfaces on both sides help patients slide easily between beds, stretchers, and tables. The nonporous surface also simplifies cleaning and disinfection after every use.
Handle openings around the board provide multiple gripping locations for caregivers. These openings allow staff to choose the most comfortable hand position during each transfer. The patient transfer slider board is available in three sizes to meet different clinical needs.
The standard half-length board measures 22 inches wide by 33 inches long. This compact size allows quick deployment in a variety of situations. The standard full-length board measures 22 inches wide by 72 inches long. It supports the entire patient while providing greater comfort during transfers. The bariatric board measures 32 inches wide by 72 inches long. This wider design accommodates larger patients or procedures requiring additional transfer surface.
Always follow safe patient transfer guidelines before beginning any transfer. Ensure adequate personnel assist with every patient move. The patient transfer slider board offers an affordable entry-level solution for most healthcare facilities. Pair it with a Patient Slider Wall Rack to protect your investment. A wall rack also keeps the board clean, organized, and ready for immediate use.
