IPU Patient Transfer Board | High-Density Polyethylene Slide Board for Safe Patient Transfers
The IPU Patient Transfer Board is engineered to assist healthcare professionals and caregivers in performing safe and efficient lateral transfers of patients between surfaces such as beds, stretchers, wheelchairs, and imaging tables. By providing a smooth, low-friction surface, this board minimizes the need for manual lifting and reduces the physical strain on staff while supporting patient dignity and comfort. This is a core mobility aid in any clinical or institutional transfer protocol.
Constructed from high-density polyethylene, IPU transfer boards are durable, easy to clean, and designed to meet the demands of frequent use in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, long-term care facilities, and other professional environments. The radiolucent properties of the board make it suitable for use during imaging procedures without interfering with diagnostic results, an advantage in emergency and diagnostic workflows. Multiple handholds improve caregiver control and safety during transfer activities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to commonly asked questions below.
-
What compliance and patient safety standards does the IPU HDPE patient transfer board support?
The IPU patient transfer board is designed to support safe patient handling practices commonly required in hospitals, long-term care, and rehabilitation facilities. Its smooth transfer surface helps reduce friction during lateral moves, aligning with fall-prevention and caregiver injury-reduction protocols. While transfer boards are non-powered assistive devices, this model aligns with facility risk management and ergonomics guidelines. The material selection supports infection control requirements in clinical environments. Facilities can document its use within patient mobility policies. This standards-aligned design supports safety and compliance objectives.
-
How does this transfer board integrate into existing patient handling workflows and scale across care settings?
The transfer board integrates seamlessly into bed-to-bed, bed-to-chair, and stretcher transfer workflows without requiring equipment modification. Its lightweight form factor allows staff to deploy it quickly at the point of care. Standardizing this board across units simplifies training and ensures consistent transfer techniques. The design scales effectively across acute care, post-acute, and outpatient settings. Compatibility with common bed heights and surfaces enhances usability. This integration improves transfer efficiency and consistency.
-
What is the total cost of ownership (TCO) and ROI for facilities standardizing on this transfer board?
The IPU transfer board delivers a favorable total cost of ownership (TCO) by providing durable performance with minimal ongoing expense. Its solid HDPE construction resists cracking and wear, extending service life. Reduced caregiver strain and faster transfers can lower labor time and injury-related costs, supporting ROI. The board requires no power, batteries, or consumables. Predictable replacement cycles simplify budgeting. This makes it a cost-effective patient handling solution.
-
What technical specifications should procurement and clinical teams verify before purchase?
Key technical specifications include overall dimensions, thickness, load capacity, and HDPE material composition. Procurement teams should verify weight ratings align with the intended patient population. Edge design and surface smoothness impact ease of transfer and patient comfort. Board length should match common transfer gaps between surfaces. Resistance to fluids and cleaning agents is critical for clinical use. Reviewing these specifications ensures safe and effective deployment.
-
What cleaning, maintenance, and lifecycle considerations should facilities plan for?
Facilities should plan for routine cleaning, inspection, and proper storage to maintain performance and hygiene. The HDPE surface is compatible with standard hospital disinfectants and requires minimal maintenance. Periodic checks for surface wear or deformation help ensure continued safety. Proper storage prevents warping when not in use. Replacement boards are readily available to maintain inventory levels. Lifecycle planning ensures reliable patient transfer support over time.
