UltraSlick Transfer Boards (18 inches)

Much slicker than traditional transfer boards, making it so much faster and easier to transfer. Expensive, but worth it. Sturdy.

This transfer board is so easy to slide on. It’s light weight & slim so it’s easy to carry, set in place and get it well under your tush for the transfer. As slim as it is you don’t need to be a light weight to use it. No splinters or any worries of that kind. It’s a bit pricey but you will NOT regret it.

This transfer board works well to allow me to move from my wheelchair to my stander. I also use it to transfer to a hospital bed, a doctors table and a cat scan table. The special coating is very slick and enables me to slide my 240 pound body very easily.

Only rated a 4 star because it didn't fully meet my requirements. The board is indeed slick and carries my 200 lb weight very well. it is very thin and though no fault of the board, creates problems for me. I have a Roho cushion on my chair and a Roho mattress topper that I am transferring to and from. The board is so thin that it sinks down in both, far enough that it makes the transfer a little difficult. The board is also slick, although not as much, on the bottom and could use some non-skid material on the bottom. I would recommend the board.

This is an amazing slide board that my husband has been using for 22+ years. We just had to buy a replacement. This will last you forever. Great product!!

My Mother had her leg removed a few months ago. She used a regular wood transfer board while in physical therapy at the nursing home. She was having difficulty transferring so I bought her this ultra board. She found it to be much slicker than the other board and made her transferring much easier and faster. The whole ordeal has been a learning experience such as finding different techniques to accomplish certain tasks. For example finding out different types of materials on pants will slide easier than others. Anyway, she really likes this board.

I am a paraplegic with a spinal cord injury, and I have used transfer boards since 1978. Most of the boards I have used are the varnished wood kind with handles. These boards have worked fine for me for almost 35 years to transfer in and out of cars and in and out of bed. In November of 2012 I noticed that I was having some trouble getting into bed. I transfer from my wheelchair to the right into bed. My butt was getting stuck on the wheel of my wheelchair, and twice I thought I wasn't going to get into bed! I checked the transfer boards here at Amazon, and I read some of the reviews for the Ultra Slick transfer board. Since the reviews claim the Ultra Slick makes transfers easy even for quads, I thought it would help me make transfers easier. When I received the Ultra Slick, I soon discovered that it's a fairly standard transfer board. It's basically the same as the varnished wood boards I've used all along. It may be a little lighter and smother than the other boards, but it didn't make transfers easier for me. If you find yourself in the situation I'm in, then I'd recommend sticking with the less expensive boards. I solved my transfer problem by using a firmer wheelchair cushion, the Vicair, which sits me higher in my wheelchair allowing me to more easily transfer over the wheel of my wheelchair. See a good occupational therapist for more information.

No signs of damage or degradation after six months of use in a van for transferring between wheel chair and drivers seat, and between wheel chair and handcycle. The coating is pretty thick and well bonded with the wood. Significanlty less friction than with standard wood transfer boards.
