Who Can Benefit From the Immedia Glide Board?
Ideal for wheelchair users and those with limited mobility, this board is designed to facilitate smooth seated transfers. It works by bridging a gap between two surfaces, allowing users to slide over from one platform to another.
For enhanced stability, the underside of the board is crafted with non-slip pads to help prevent unwanted movement during transfers. This helps to improve the safety of the user, and minimises strain on caregivers during the manual handling process.
