Description
Product Summary
Medical facilities perform lateral patient transfers every day. The Patient Transfer Roller Board provides a simple, efficient solution — featuring a lightweight aluminum frame fitted with low-friction rollers and a durable cover that creates a smooth, conveyor-style transfer surface for effortless patient movement between beds or tables.
Lateral patient transfers commonly assist elderly patients with limited mobility, patients with disabilities that restrict movement, and patients under anesthesia or who are unconscious. The low-friction roller design reduces the effort required during each transfer, helping minimize physical strain on healthcare staff while improving patient handling safety.
To perform a transfer, lock the casters on both beds, log roll the patient, position the roller board underneath, then smoothly transfer the patient to the receiving bed or table. Available in three sizes to accommodate a wide range of patients and clinical environments.
Key Features
Lightweight Aluminum Frame
Durable yet lightweight construction makes the board easy to position and store without adding unnecessary bulk.
Low-Friction Rollers
Conveyor-style roller system minimizes resistance so patients glide smoothly across the transfer surface with minimal staff effort.
Smooth Durable Cover
A durable cover stretches over the rollers to create a consistent, comfortable transfer surface for the patient.
Three Size Options
Available in 25", 30", and 67" lengths to suit smaller patients, standard OR use, or full-length transfers for larger patients.
Reduces Staff Strain
Engineered to minimize physical strain on healthcare personnel during every lateral transfer, supporting staff safety and ergonomics.
Affordable for Any Facility
Cost-effective pricing makes the roller board accessible for hospitals, surgical centers, and clinics of all sizes.

Size Guide
Choosing the Right Size
Three board lengths are available to match the patient population and clinical environment. Select the size that best fits your transfer scenario:
| Size | Length | Best For |

| Medium | 30" | Most popular size — standard choice for operating rooms worldwide |
| Long | 67" | Larger patients or situations requiring a full-length roller board |
How to Use
Step-by-Step Transfer Procedure
Always follow safe patient transferring guidelines and ensure adequate personnel are present before beginning any lateral transfer.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1. Secure Beds | Lock the casters on both the sending and receiving beds or tables to prevent movement during transfer. |
| 2. Position Board | Log roll the patient to the side and position the roller board underneath the patient on the sending surface. |
| 3. Transfer Patient | Smoothly slide the patient across the roller board to the receiving bed or table using coordinated team movement. |
| 4. Remove Board | Log roll the patient again to remove the roller board, then return it to the storage rack for cleaning and readiness. |
Medical Applications
Operating Room
The 30" medium board is the most widely used size in operating rooms globally, facilitating smooth pre- and post-operative lateral transfers between OR tables and transport beds.
Elderly & Limited Mobility Patients
Designed to assist elderly patients with limited mobility and patients with disabilities that restrict independent movement during bed-to-bed transfers.
Unconscious or Anesthetized Patients
Provides a controlled, low-effort transfer method for patients under anesthesia or who are unconscious and cannot assist in their own movement.
General Hospital & Clinical Use
Suitable for ICUs, emergency departments, radiology suites, and general wards wherever lateral patient transfers between beds or imaging tables are required.
Storage & Maintenance
Protect Your Investment with a Roller Board Rack
Pair your roller board with a compatible Stainless Steel Roller Board Wall Rack to keep the board clean, organized, and ready for immediate use whenever a transfer is needed. Proper storage protects the board surface and rollers, extending the service life of the device and maintaining hygiene standards.
