Description
A curved transfer boards (or curved slide board) is a device used to help individuals with a disability or limited mobility transfer safely from one surface to another. The transfer board acts as a bridge between two surfaces, minimising the risk of slips and falls. The SallyBoard Curved was specially developed to provide a light, chip and splinter resistant alternative to other curved transfer boards on the market. Small and light, with a slight curve, it is popular not only in healthcare facilities but for home usersfacilitating easy transfers from chair or wheelchair to car, toilet, bed, and more. Whether a user has a temporary immobility or permanent disability, the SallyBoard Curved proves invaluable - as a loyal SallyBoard user explains below. Ive been using a manual wheelchair for some 30 years now and neither stand nor walk. Im whats lovingly called an old polio and require a transfer board. Previously, I used homemade plywood boards for transferring that were heavy, large and unwieldy, slipped out of place, etc. Since being introduced to the curved SallyBoard, Im more independent. It has a handgrip which enables me to place it exactly in position & lift/stow it easily between uses. Furthermore, it has these non-slip grips at either end under the board that hold it in place as you slide to transfer; hence, it offers this wonderful safety factor by NEVER moving and offering appropriate stability. To conclude, I find my SallyBoard excellent and invaluable. I could not live without it in my life.
