A curved transfer board (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 users – facilitating 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.

Lightweight for easy patient transfer:

• Constructed from lightweight HDPE – much lighter than many transfer boards (also called slide boards) on the market
• TGA Registered
• Smooth top surface and curved edge for easy patient transfer
• Two large grip pads underneath to keep the board stable and in place
• Good level of flexibility in board where bed/barouche heights are not always
  at same level
• Radiolucent – can be used for X-rays
• Tested to Australian Standards AS/NZS ISO 10535:2011

“I’ve been using a manual wheelchair for some 30 years now and neither stand nor walk. I’m what’s 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, I’m more independent. It has a handgrip which enables me to place it exactly in position and 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.”
