    The Slide Board – Trolley – Hand Slots is a plastic board is used for sliding patients lying supine, from a bed to a trolley. It bridges the small gap of about 15cm (6″) between the bed to trolley.

    The Board has hand slots cut into the plastic to help when carrying the Board. The hand slots should not be used for actually transferring or moving a patient.

    This product is translucent.

    To Use

    Gently roll the patient onto their side using a draw sheet. Then, place a Slide Board underneath the draw sheet and patient. Ensure the Board extends from under the patient’s head down to under their thighs.

    Position the trolley next to the bed and apply brakes to both the bed and the trolley. Check that the trolley is not higher than the bed, and adjust it if necessary. Before pulling the patient across, move the trolley mattress over the gap between the bed and trolley to make the transfer easier and prevent any sudden jerks or bumps.

    Drape the draw sheet across the trolley and have one or more nurses pull the sheet with the patient across to the trolley. Hold the sheet aligned to the patient’s hips and shoulder, and if needed, have a nurse guide the patient’s feet while another guides the head.

    Once the patient is on the trolley, gently roll them on their side again to remove the Slide Board. If needed, use a large sheet that reaches the far side of the trolley to avoid leaning forward and pulling, allowing the nurses to use their own body weight to pull the sheet across.

    By following these steps, you can ensure a safe and comfortable transfer for the patient. Consult your Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist or Back Care Specialist when using Manual Handling Products.

    Non-Slip Tape

    Some manufacturers have non-slip tape on the back of their Slide Boards (also known as Transfer Boards). The non-slip tape is not really necessary, as the Slide Boards do not move a lot when they are correctly positioned. Non-slip tape can make it harder to position the Slide Board under a patient, and to remove the board after the transfer. If the Slide Board is used upside down, the non-slip tape will stop the person from moving. By not having any non-slip tape the Pelican Slide Boards can be used either way up. Also the non-slip tape can make it difficult to keep clean, particularly if the patient is incontinent or there may be some other cross infection reason. Remember if the person is sitting on a chair, or on a bed or operating table and the Slide Board is put under them, the Slide Board can be contaminated on both sides i.e. the top and bottom of the Board. This can be from the patient’s clothing, and from where they are sitting on the chair, bed, etc. as the chair will also be contaminated. If the non-slip tape is on the underside of the board, it means the board cannot be easily wiped clean. If a customer particularly wants non-slip tape, this can be purchased from most hardware shops and the customer can easily put non-slip tape on the Boards.

    Slide the Patient – Not the Board

    Remember: Slide the patient across the board. Do not slide the board, with patient on top, across the bed. Hand Slots are designed when carrying the board, not for when transferring patients.
