What is the transfer board?

The transmission plate is an auxiliary device that is designed to help people move from wheelchairs to bed, cars, toilets, staircases and other places. Portable plates can also be used for patients with limited mobility, although these patients are not in wheelchairs. Many nursing shops and shops that provide wheelchair users, transmit transmission boards, with a number of options that meet different needs. The transmission plate is small enough to fit the wheelchair seat or balance on the edge of the toilet, and the design is flat, robust and stable to support the patient when the patient is raised between places. Many portable boards are designed to allow patients to slide along the board and increase personal mobility by allowing patients to set up their own gearbox and move. The services are better known as the spine or long spine boards. These boards are somewhat larger than the human body and are designed to completelyThey have immobilized patients with suspected spine injury. Patients are strapped to the back plate and held on the back plate when they are transported. The rear plates are usually transparent X -ray, so patients can be immobilized during the X -ray to check the spine injury before the backboard removal.

Several different transfers are available. The most basic transmission boards are simply solid wood, plastic or metal plates that may or may not have handles. Some are shaped to make them more comfortable for use. Other transmission plates have a flexible component, so the transmission plate can be converted into a lifting chair to move the patient. Some transfer boards are designed for very specific purposes; For example, ER transfdesses may have an end that corresponds to the toilet seat and allows someone to slip into the toilet using the transfer plate,Use the toilet and then insert back on the wheelchair.

Transmission plates are great carer tools because they allow patient gears with minimal stress on the back and legs because the caregiver does not actively increase the patient. The use of the transfer plate can also be safer than the patient's physical transport, as the patient's weight is supported and stabilized by the plate, reducing the risk of slipping and falling. Portable plates also allow caregivers to be handled in particular by large patients or patients with extremely reduced mobility.
