Frequently asked questions
Is this board sturdy enough for heavier patients?
Yes, the board is engineered for reliability and strength, featuring a robust weight capacity of up to 440 lbs. It is built to provide maximum stability during patient transfers between surfaces.
Does the material provide long-lasting durability?
Absolutely. It is constructed from high-quality maple plywood, a material specifically chosen for its structural integrity and ability to withstand frequent, daily use in both home and professional healthcare environments.
How does the surface assist with the transfer process?
The board is finished with a specialized sealed coating that creates a friction-free surface. This significantly reduces physical resistance, allowing for smoother, more comfortable transfers with less effort from both the patient and the caregiver.
Is the surface safe for patients with latex allergies?
Yes, this product is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for individuals with latex sensitivities.
What is the ideal size for a standard transfer?
The board measures 30 inches in length and 8 inches in width. This surface area is designed to effectively bridge the gap between common surfaces like:
- Wheelchairs and beds

- Various mobility aids
Can I use my FSA funds for this purchase?
Yes, this Mabis Healthcare transfer board is FSA eligible, making it a convenient option for your healthcare spending needs.
Is this suitable for use in professional facilities?
Definitely. While it is perfect for home healthcare, its durable construction makes it an excellent tool for rehabilitation settings and assisted living facilities to aid in patient independence and caregiver safety.
How should I maintain the board's surface?
The board features a protective, polished seal. To maintain it, simply wipe the surface clean as needed. The coating not only creates the friction-free glide but also protects the maple wood from everyday wear.
Does the board have an ergonomic design?
Yes, the board is designed with slightly rounded or tapered edges. This ergonomic finish ensures that the board is smooth to the touch and prevents sharp edges during the transfer process.
Does this board help reduce caregiver injury risks?
Yes, by providing a stable, friction-free bridge between surfaces, it minimizes the physical strain required to move a patient, which is a key factor in reducing the risk of strain-related injuries for caregivers.
