Transfer & Caregiver Support

Transfer aids reduce the lifting a caregiver has to do. A gait belt gives a secure handhold while helping someone stand or walk; a transfer board bridges the gap between bed, chair, wheelchair or car seat so the user can slide across; patient lift slings work with a compatible mechanical lift.

What to check

• Weight capacity of every part – belt, board, sling and lift – above the user’s weight.
• Belt length – measure around the waist over clothing and allow for the buckle overlap.
• Sling type and size must match the lift manufacturer’s chart.
• Board length and width for the gap you need to bridge.

Anyone operating a patient lift should be trained on it first.
