Beasy Board Patient Transfer System - Trans, II and Glyder

Beasy Board Transfer Systems Overview

Beasy Transfer Boards offer a safer transition from beds to wheelchairs, wheelchairs to bath, wheelchairs to a chair, wheelchairs to the commode, and more. The Beasy Board Transfer System makes transitions easier and safer for mobility patients. Each Beasy Board is equipped with a swivel seat that offers patients more movement options. Each transfer systems seat spins a full 360 degrees on the base. The seat slides along the base to provide smoother transfers. Patients can reposition easily without the aid of additional caregivers. The Beasy Board Transfer System design innovation not only eliminates the arm/shoulder soreness and reduces the risk of injury but also protects and supports caregivers' lower backs. Patients simply slide across the low-friction surface onto a safe, stable seat that easily glides from one end to the other. Unlike many other transfer board designs, patients using the Beasy Board Transfer System remain upright as they slide across. These transfer boards can support patients up to 400 pounds. These boards may also be used to exercise the patient hands, feet, and other body parts.

Select between three separate models depending on where the patient needs to transfer. One transfer board is versatile for short-distance in-home transfers. One is designed for longer transfers such as to an automobile. Another works well with wheelchairs that have non-removable arms.

Short summary and differences of each Beasy Transfer Board.

BeasyTrans -- for easy automobile transfers

Users who are on the go will want to choose the original BeasyTrans (1100) transfer board. This item is 40 inches in length and designed for transfers in and out of vehicles and other places that can accommodate a longer board. Its extra-long design translates to the smoothest and easiest transfer process possible. The Beasytrans Easy Transfer Board can also be used to easily reposition and boost patients in bed. Due to its extended size, this easy transfer system is better suited for bariatric patients than other transfer boards. It can also be very helpful in instances in which a wheelchair cannot get close enough to the new transfer location. This board requires a two-person transfer.

BeasyGlyder -- for easy transfers when the wheelchair arms are not removable

The BeasyGlyder (1300) is 32 inches in length and curved into a crescent shape. This item's reduced size and curved shape make it easier to transfer patients into wheelchairs that have large, obstructive wheels or wheelchairs without removable arms. Like the BeasyTrans, this midsized board is perfect for transfers into automobiles. It is also the best option for transfers onto airplanes. This transfer board requires two aides for the transfer of a patient. Caregivers who are looking for a board that requires only one aide for assisted transfers may be interested in the Beasy II.

Beasy II -- for easy transfers within confined spaces

This makes it the ideal candidate for transferring patients in tight spaces, such as from a wheelchair to a toilet, commode, or shower in a bathroom. It can also be used to boost patients into bed. In cases in which it is facility-approved or used in a home, this board can also be used for one-person transfers without the additional assistance of a second person.
