Beasy Wooden Slide Boards

Q: How does the Beasy Wooden Slide Boards work? 

A: The Beasy Wooden Slide Boards work as transfer aids that bridge the gap between two surfaces, such as from a wheelchair to a bed or car seat. The ultra-smooth, coated surface allows users to slide safely across the board rather than lifting, reducing strain on caregivers and providing independence for users. The notched version includes grooves that help with positioning and control during transfers.

Q: What's the difference between the Basic and Notched versions? 

A: The Basic version ($74.99) is a smooth transfer board ideal for standard transfers. The Notched version ($99.99) features built-in grooves that provide better control and positioning, especially when transferring from wheelchairs, as the notches help secure the board in place.

A: Yes, Beasy Wooden Slide Boards feature a "skin safe" ultra-smooth coated surface designed to prevent skin irritation during transfers. The boards also include built-in antimicrobial protection to maintain hygiene.

Q: Who can benefit from using wooden transfer boards? 

A: Transfer boards are beneficial for individuals with mobility limitations, wheelchair users, elderly patients, those recovering from surgery, and anyone who has difficulty moving between surfaces. They're also valuable for caregivers as they reduce the physical strain of assisting with transfers.

Q: How do I clean and maintain my Beasy transfer board? 

A: The antimicrobial coating makes cleaning simple - wipe down with standard disinfectants or cleaning solutions. The smooth surface prevents bacteria buildup and ensures the board remains hygienic for repeated use.

Q: Can transfer boards be used for bathroom transfers? A: Yes, Beasy transfer boards are excellent for bathroom transfers, including getting in and out of bathtubs, onto toilet seats, or shower benches. The smooth surface works well in wet environments when properly secured.

Q: What makes wooden transfer boards better than plastic alternatives?
