How does the Mobilex patient transfer board support transfers from bed to wheelchair?

The Mobilex 240505 patient transfer board is a smooth, thin grey PVC board that helps the user move from one sitting surface to another. It can support transfers from bed to wheelchair, wheelchair to chair or wheelchair to car seat when the surfaces are placed close together. The low-friction surface helps make the transfer smoother and less physically demanding for the caregiver.

Model 240505 measures 800 × 245 × 6 mm, is flexible and has a smooth surface intended mainly for clothed transfers. The board does not replace assistance or supervision. Before use, check the user’s stability, the distance between surfaces and the feasibility of a controlled transfer.

• 1 Mobilex 240505 patient transfer board,

Benefits of the patient transfer board

• Easier sitting transfers – the board creates a bridge between two sitting surfaces.
• Smoother movement – the smooth PVC surface reduces friction during sliding.
• Less effort for the caregiver – transfer is performed by sliding rather than manual lifting.
• Support for independence – users with sufficient arm strength may perform part of the transfer independently.
• Easy placement – 6 mm thickness helps slide the board under the user.
• Practical length – 800 × 245 mm helps bridge a small gap between seats.
• Optional stability support – anti-slip strips are available as an accessory.

Use for different users – practical benefits

Dependent users

For users requiring assistance, the board can help the caregiver guide a controlled transfer between close surfaces. Use should follow professional training and appropriate support.

Partially active users

For users with sufficient arm strength, the board may support more independence during transfers. The smooth surface helps the body slide toward the wheelchair, bed or chair.

During rehabilitation

The board may be used when practicing repeated seated transfers according to a professional plan. Transfer technique, seat height and assistance level should be agreed with a physiotherapist or healthcare professional.

Sizing / fitting

Before use, check the height and stability of both surfaces, transfer direction and the distance between seats. The open space between the two sitting surfaces must not exceed 20 cm.
