FAQs
What is a slide board used for?
A slide board is a rigid transfer aid used to help move a patient from one surface to another, such as from a wheelchair to a bed, car, or commode, without the need to lift.
What are slide sheets used for in patient care?
Slide sheets reduce friction when repositioning or turning a patient in bed. They smooth movement and prevent skin shear and caregiver strain.
Are patient transfer boards suitable for home use?
Yes, patient transfer boards are ideal for home care settings, especially for those needing assistance with mobility. They’re easy to use and improve safety during transfers.
What is a Patslide?
Patslide is a common term for a flat, plastic slide board used in hospitals and aged care settings to move patients quickly and safely between surfaces.
How do I choose between a slide board and a slide sheet?
Slide boards are best for seated transfers between surfaces, while patient slide sheets are more suitable for in-bed repositioning. Many facilities use both depending on the situation.
Can one caregiver use slide boards and sheets alone?
While some transfers can be completed solo, we recommend following proper manual handling protocols and using at least two caregivers when needed for safety.
