The Slide Board - Wheelchair Cut Out is used to slide from a wheelchair to a car, bed, chair, etc. The cut-out is placed around the wheelchair wheel so the Board covers more of the seat of the wheelchair. The short end of the Slide Board - Wheelchair Cut Out is shaped like a shovel, making it easier to slide under a person's bottom. This poly material will bend, but will not break, and it is a strong, self-lubricating material.
Key Features
- Translucent design for visibility.
- Short end shaped like a shovel for easy sliding.
- Strong and self-lubricating poly material.
- Does not break under normal use.
Additional Information
The outer surface may mark easily, and a new Board may look secondhand when new. The advantages of using this material outweigh the disadvantage.
Consult your Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist or Back Care Specialist when using Manual Handling Products.
Non-Slip Tape: Some manufacturers have non-slip tape on the back of their Slide Boards (also known as Transfer Boards). The non-slip tape is not really necessary, as the Slide Boards do not move a lot when they are correctly positioned. Non-slip tape can make it harder to position the Slide Board under a patient and to remove the board after the transfer. If the Slide Board is used upside down, the non-slip tape will stop the person from moving. By not having any non-slip tape on the Pelican Slide Boards, they can be used either way up. Non-slip tape can also make it difficult to keep clean, particularly if the patient is incontinent or there may be some other cross-infection reason.
Slide the Patient – Not the Board: Remember: Slide the patient across the board. Do not slide the board, with the patient on top, across the bed. Hand Slots are designed for carrying the board, not for transferring patients.
