The Transglide A&E Patient Transfer Board is a professional-grade manual handling aid designed for the rapid and safe lateral transfer of patients between surfaces. Originally issued to British military medical units and field hospitals (RAMC), this board is engineered for extricating individuals from confined spaces or bridging gaps between beds, trolleys, and X-ray tables. Its low-profile, "supple" construction allows it to be positioned under a patient with minimal disturbance, facilitating a smooth sliding motion that reduces physical strain on the operator while maintaining patient stability.
Technical Performance & Durability
-
High-Strength Material: Manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), a solid, shatterproof polymer designed to withstand heavy industrial and field use.
-
Exceptional Weight Capacity: Engineered with a Safe Working Load (SWL) of 200kg (approx. 31 stone), making it suitable for bariatric transfers.
-
Environmental Resistance: The HDPE surface is acid-resistant and non-toxic, allowing for deep cleaning with standard medical-grade disinfectants for strict infection control.
-
Operational Stability: Features integrated non-slip strips on the underside to prevent the board from shifting during the transfer process.
-
X-Ray Translucent: The radiotransparent material allows for X-ray imaging or resuscitation to be performed while the patient remains on the board.

Condition & Authenticity Note
This item is genuine military surplus (Ex-MOD) and is sold in used condition. As a service-issued medical item, it has been previously utilised in clinical or field environments. Consequently, the board will show cosmetic signs of use, such as surface scratches, scuffs, or permanent markings. These do not affect the structural integrity of the HDPE material.
Important Safety Notice: While these boards are built to rigorous standards, they are sold as used and uncertified. We strongly recommend that the unit is thoroughly cleaned and inspected by a competent person for any deep gouges or structural stress before it is put into service for patient handling.
